Historicity: These ancient temples of Chandelas era were came into picture recently and were renovated as necessary. This is the place of Nirvana of 3 and half Carore Muni (Jain Saints) as Marathi writer Bhattarak Gunkerti write in Tirth Vandana ” Falhodi Badagaon Ahoot Koti Siddhasi Namaskar Mangha”. There is a wonderful Siddha Gufa (Cave) on the hill just beside the temple. Slowly very difficult historical facts about Falhodi Badagaon Siddh Kshetra are coming in light by research. Many miracles happen here time to time. Here is a mysterious non-violence tank behind the hill, which is called ‘Jainerd Talab’. This is the place where hunting and fishing are not possible. Here is a Shiv temple of the age of Chandelas (Similar to the temples in Khajuraho) which proves that all the Jain temples also belongs to Chandela’s era. Thousands of faithful and devoted pilgrims come here to have their wishes full filled.

Other Temples: There are three temples on the hill with five Vedis. There are a very old Siddh Gufa (Cave) and a beautiful Manistam just behind the temples.

Works of art and Sculpture:The scene of the temples situated on the hill between the centre of town is really fascinating. There is a beautiful museum of idols of Jain Tirthankar found from the nearby places, all of them are around 500 to 600 years old. All these idols were broken during the Mugal period. Some of these idols are very beautiful and can be used to access the art of past.
