इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण
1. Sculptural remains of Jaina, Shaiva and Vaishnava pantheon generally found in the agricultural field near the deserted village. 2. Monolithic unfinished image of Jaina tirthankar now kept in front of Bhanpura museum. 3. Ancient tank. 4. Remains of deserted village. For the construction of sculptures only local sand stones was used. The old tradition says that during the 16th century A.D one of the big images of Jaina tirthankar Santinath was made after the cutting a monolithic piece of rock, but it was not fully completed due to the religious cause in Mughal period. So the image was not completed. It was made in 7th month and was lying unfinished on the bank of a tank locally known as Saptmasa. At present the image has been shifted to Bhanpura museum.
