Even today, this stepped well is present here in its old shape. In the temple of Higharajamata, there is a broken idol of Ambikamata and on its girdle there is a mention of the second day of the bright half of the month of Jekh in the year 1261 of the Vikram era. The idol of Neminath is a marvelous. On the fifteenth day of the months of Kartak and Magashar, a fair is held here every year.
Other temples : At present there is no other temple.
Works of art and sculpture : Since this is an ancient place of prosperity, a number of artistic relics are found from the ground. This idol of Bhagawan Neminath is artistic and impressive. Since all the idols in this belong to the times of king Samprati, they are beautiful, unbroken and worth seeing.
