The shrine faces the east and has no doors. Its measurements are 5 3⁄4 feet square and six high, with an entrance 4 1⁄2 feet high and 2 feet wide. This shrine is sacred to the holy Dhoramnath or Dharmanath, who, after destroying Mandvi, repented of the loss of life, and determined to mortify the flesh by standing on his head on some lonely hill.</div>
