History & significance

A Shvetambara Jain temple of marble in the Nagarparkar area of Sindh, dedicated to Parshvanatha and holding twenty-four small cells for the twenty-four Tirthankaras. Its design is compared to the Jain temples of Mount Abu, and it survives as one of the most important Jain monuments left in Pakistan.
