Rayana tree; it was built by Motichand, the son of Seth Amichand Saharachand, the founder of the principal temple.
Along the east and south sides of this square there are continuous rows of shrines, built by various persons, and containing numerous images. The whole number in the fuk is reckoned at three thousand six hundred objects of worship.
Outside the enclosure, and to the north side of the entrance, there are two very pretty temples, the one by Devchand Kalyanchand of Khambhat, built in 1836 and the other by Sah Manchand Vallabhdas of Aurangabad in 1846. In front of the latter, is the small gate called Ram pole.
One of the most commanding views of this magnificent square is obtained from the roof of the Bhima Pandava temple, from which all the larger temples can be distinctly seen-indeed nearly all within the walls, except some of the smaller temples under the west wall.
