A cluster of temples, stepwells and a kund near Lunavada built between the 10th and 16th centuries, with a 10th-century Shiva temple at its core and later structures added through the 15th and 16th centuries. Parts were restored in 1549 by Mala Rana of Lunavada and reconstructed again after the 18th century.
Local legend attributes one of the stepwells to a daughter-in-law who dug her own after her mother-in-law refused her water from hers.
