Shantinath Jain temple, Kothara

The domed hall, rangmandap rises in two stories, and over the shrine is a spire with richly carved figure niches and mouldings.

Inside of a wall, chiefly formed of 20 pillars richly carved with flowers, leaves and creepers is the shrine where supported on either side by seven small figures, is a large image of Shantinath in padmasana posture with a golden crown sitting on a richly carved marble throne.

The upper story of the hall, reached by stone steps from the south-west porches, has a corridor with intricately-carved shrines, each containing a large marble seated image.

Moolnayak (main deity) of this temple is a 90 cm high, white-coloured idol of Shantinatha in Padmasana posture.

[4] Below the hall there is an underground shrine, with about twenty-five large white marble figures with precious stones studded into the eyes, chest, and arms.
