The temple complex spans 614 square meters with three stone caves arranged in a semicircle and features walls adorned with floral motifs and decorative elements.

The temple incorporates both Buddhist and Islamic architectural elements, including dragon sculptures measuring 3.5 meters tall and a mihrab indicating the prayer direction.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a taxi from Soltaniyeh city for approximately 200,000 Iranian Rial round trip, covering the 17-kilometer journey.
