• The late-11th-century Adinath Temple, a minor shrine, is set in a small walled compound southeast of Ghantai.
• Its porch and the statue of Tirthankara (literally, “Ford-Maker,” a figure who leads others to liberation) Adinatha, are modern additions. 
• Built at the beginning of the Chandelas’ decline, this temple is relatively small, but the shikhara and base are richly carved.
