The site consists of a several abandoned Jain sacred temples. There is also a mosque which is heavily influenced by the architectural style of the temples. Buildings in the region date from the 12th to the 15th centuries. This is a period when Jain architectural expression was at its highest.

These ancient Pakistanian temples were put on the list for UNESCO World Heritage status in 2016 as the Nagarparkar Cultural Landscape.[1] Therefore they can be considered as the "National Jain Temple of Pakistan", a potential for Gujarati Indian Yatris respectively.
