The pilgrims have to pass through several gates for reaching the main complex. The first one is known as Rämpol. As one enters the gate, he can see a unique temple on the right side. Unlike other temples, this temple has five steeples and is therefore known as Panch Shikhari temple. There is an open ground in front of it, which is mostly used as a camping ground by Doliwälläs.
MAIN COMPLEX
As one passes through that ground, he can see on his right side, the temple complex of Motishä Tuk. But most of the pilgrims proceed towards the main Tuk and enter the gate known as Sagälpol. On the left of the gate, there is the guest house, while on the right is the administrative office of Anandjee Kalyanjee that manages most of the Jain temples. Facing the gate, there is a well laid Kund, which is known as Nänghankund. Beyond that, there is a walkway leading to another gate known as Väghanpol.
