David J. McCutchion says that in the remote areas of old Manbhum district the Jains went on building temples till the 13th century, and many of them are still standing at Bahulara, Harmasra, Deulbhirya, Ambikanagar, Charra, Pakbirra, Tuisama or Dcoli, in Bankura and Purulia districts.^[2]

According to the Archaeological Survey of India information board at the temple, it was built around the 13th century. The statue of Parshvanatha, originally in the temple, is now in the Indian Museum at Kolkata. See Wikimedia Commons media for close up pictures of the ASI information boards.
