Shrines next to the Parsvanath Temple, the largest of the Jainist temples in the eastern group and one of the finest in the total temple complex. Measuring 65.6' by 36'. More figures can be found on the outer face of the sanctum, depicting 'apsaras' (heavenly nymphs) in a variety of poses. The temple was originally dedicated to the deity Adinath, but in the late 19th century an image of Parsvanath was installed there and the temple assumed this new name.
