origin to the age of Mahabharata.

Brahmins who once inhabited this place.

Temple and the Surya Narayan Temple (the first has been covered
under Pali, while the other two have been covered separately

district and perhaps in the whole of Rajasthan.

pink-white temple which is dedicated to the 24th and last
Jain saint Mahavira.

of Egypt', with the older part constructed in pink color.

statue of Lord Mahavira himself.
