Arthuna was once upon a time the capital of Paramaras who ruled the state of Vagad. One of the most famous Paramara kings was Raja Bhoja. Located at a distance of 55 kilometers from Banswara this place has a number of ruined temples belonging to both the Hindus and the Jains. These temples date back to 11th, 12th and 15th centuries. Though the region is in ruins yet the scenic beauty of the place is inimitable. In the middle of the ruins the tourists will come across a conjugated statue of Shiva, Parvati and Ganesh that is beautifully carved.

The holy shrines were famous for their intricate sculptures. These sculptures included women in dancing poses. However most part of the outer walls have been renovated with bricks. Mandheshwar and Kalinjara are the two famous Jain temples. The former was built by 1080 AD by the Paramara king known as Chamunda Raja. This temple too is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temples have been sculpted with beautiful figures and inscriptions are also found on the walls of the temples. Such architecture was common to Hindu and Jain temples of those ages. Other temples are at Arthuna are also worth visiting.
