Yhis kshetra which falls in the district Devas in the state of MP is a very old and ancient kshetra. There are three temples and these along with the idols were recovered in excavation on a small hill. These could belong to the period between 9th to 11th century, almost the same period in which the other temples were constructed in this area. The temples are in a very bad condition and only one temple had been renovated till now with the inspiration of Muni Mardavsagar ji.

In this temple huge idols of Bhagwan Shantinath, Kunthunath, Arehnath, Sambahvnath and Mahavir Swamy have been placed. In the excavation, stone idols of Sehestrakoot have also been found. Since there was no proper arrangement for safe keeping of all the idols, most of them were transported to Jaisinghpura in Ujjain.
