The main temple of these, dedicated to the first Tirthankara, is known as Vimal Vasahi. This temple has a large image of the main deity Rishabhdev and 52 other smaller shrines dedicated to different Tirthankaras. The temple is open from sunrise to sunset, but photography is not permitted. Gaumukh Temple: Literally meaning �from the mouth of the cow�, this temple derives its name from a natural spring, which flows out of a carved cow head. Adhar Devi Temple: This temple is dedicated to the serpent goddess, Arbuada. It is carved out of a single rock and can be reached only after a climb of 360 stairs.

Nakki Lake: It is the most recognized feature of this hill retreat. It is set in the hills and is believed to have been carved out of the nails of Gods, hence the name nakki.
