It may be around 150 feet high from the ground. There is a large pond just in front of the Moth. This moth is not functioning now days. There is no praying activities take place in this moth. Every side of the moth is covered with trees and that gave a lovely golden and green color's illusion view of the moth.

The larger moth was made for "Shiva" (Hindu God), and made during 1843, and the smaller one for "Kali" (Hindu Goddess), and made during 1886. It was built by a Hindu merchant named "Rupchand" From stone inscriptions fixed over the temple's entrance.

The two towers of the moth are not equal sized. One is much larger than another one. The larger tower has hundreds of holes at the top of it, and each hole is occupied by parrots.

Visitors may observe hundreds of parrots from the place, and they are making sweet sound together all the day long. During the breeding season, the top of the moth become green for the numerous numbers of parrots. Both the towers of the moth are ornamented nicely with different types of leafs motif and blind alcoves.
