History & significance
A tenth-century Jain temple at Bhond near Ferozepur Jhirka in Haryana's Nuh district, dedicated to the Tirthankara Ajitanatha and carrying an inscription of 1451. Its fabric mixes Hindu temple forms with the Lodi idiom of the Delhi Sultanate; a Shiva lingam once kept here was later moved to the Jain temple at Ferozepur Jhirka.
