Its main feature is the hundreds of pillars of the temple. Their number is about 1444. Wherever the vision goes, pillars of small and big sizes are visible, but these pillars have been made in such a way that when viewed from anywhere, the 'darshan' of the main holy place is not obstructed. Beautiful carvings have been done on these pillars.

While the builders of the temple have constructed an artistic two-storey building, anticipating any future crisis, many basements have also been built. Sacred idols can be kept safe in these cellars. These cellars show the construction vision of the builders of the temple. To the north of the temple is situated the Ryan tree. Apart from this, there are also footprints of Lord Rishabhdev on the piece of marble. These are reminiscent of the teachings of Lord Rishabhdev and Shatrunjaya.
