The Bhand Deval Jain temple is built in the north of the eleventh century. The temple is in the Mahakoshal area of Arang. The temple is built in Bhumija architecture. The bottom of this temple has detailed ornaments. It has a sole that supports a pedestal on the wall and two rows of statues. The temple layout plan is a star-shaped one known as the stalette. The temple grows up to five floors, considered an unusual feature. The temple's face is on the west side. The temple is in harsh condition. In the past, a pavilion and a porch probably existed as part of the temple. The damaged front of the temple tower has been plastered without any decoration and also white. The northeast and southeast faces of the Temple Tower, all that were diluted, have been repainted in brick and mortar, but seriously. However, the overall view of the tower is still pleasant. Once upon a time, this temple was used as a survey marking station. As there was a tendency for the upper half of the tower to structurally explode by its borders, a metal strap bracing has been wounded around the tower in the middle section to give it stability. The top of the tower has a similar strap wound round. A large number of paintings have been engraved on the exterior and interior faces of the temple. The bigger images are engraved in two lines. Above the lines of bigger images, a line of carving small images is drawn. Inscription panels, flowers, and a line of highly decorated depictions of a royal march of horses, animals and people based on large images. The exterior faces of the temple are decorated with carved paintings.
