Kamal Basadi is so called because of the Gumbaj of the temple in the form of the lotus of 72 petals. In this temple, the past present and future Tirthankars 24 for each period are shown on the 72 petals of the lotus flower. The stone carved Sinhasan of Bhagwan Neminath is very artistic. The pillars of the temple are decorated with carvings and brightly polished. The idol of Bhagwan Neminath was found in the Jungle about 200 years ago. The Idol and other statue are of 11CAD. There are idols of Bhagwan Sumatinath in standing posture; idol of Bhagwan Adinath in padamasan; idol of Bhagwan parsvanath under the shade of 7 hooded Nagraj and the idols of Navgraha is also worth seeing.
