Rajgadhi Timbo, Medieval Jain temple ruins in Umta, India.

The Rajgadhi Timbo temple complex extends over 3000 square meters and originally reached a height of 50 feet, featuring sandstone construction and Solanki architectural elements.

During the 1299 invasion by Alauddin Khalji's generals, the temple suffered damage, leading local people to protect the lower section by burying it under lime layers.

The excavation site has yielded more than 70 Jain and Hindu idols that were deliberately buried near the temple foundation, indicating religious preservation practices.

The temple site, managed by the Gujarat State Archeology Department, remains open for visitors who can observe the structural remnants including bastions and brick walls.

Inscriptions reveal that King Jayasinh Umat and his consorts Shia and Sundari commissioned the idol carvings during Vikram Samvat 1240, dating the temple construction between 1100-1300.
