The temple is dedicated to Lord Dharmanatha, the fifteenth Jain Tirthankar.
Sarkhej Roza includes one of the most elegant and unique architectural complexes in Ahmedabad. In his architecture, Sarkhej Roza is an example of the first Islamic architectural culture in the region, which blends Persian's Islamic stylistic influences with Hindu and Jainist features to form an "Indo-Saracenic" architectural style. The architectural style of Sarkhej Roza is a precursor of the Mughal period in a true fusion of Hindu, Jain and Islamic styles. Hindu art and construction know-how were superimposed on the Islamic sense of geometry and scale. The Roza complex in Sarkhej was built at the advent of the sultanate era.

Lothal - was one of the southernmost cities of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, located in the Bhāl region of the modern state of Gujarāt and first inhabited c. 3700 BC Discovered in 1954, Lothal was excavated from 13 February 1955 to 19 May 1960 by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the official agency of the Indian government for the conservation of ancient monuments. According to the ASI, Lothal had the first known pier in the world, which connected the city to an ancient course of the Sabarmati river on the trade route between the cities of Harappan to Sindh and the Saurashtra peninsula when the Kutch desert of today was part of the Arabian Sea. However, this interpretation was challenged by other archaeologists, who claim that Lothal was a relatively small city and that the "basin" was actually an irrigation reservoir. The controversy was finally resolved when scientists from the National Institute of Oceonography, Goa discovered foraminifera (marine microfossils) and salt, gypsum crystals in the rectangular structure clearly indicating that seawater once filled the structure.
