 * Khandelwal Digambar Jain Mandir : This temple has main Idol of Lord Aadinath which is First Tirthankar of Jainism. The temple is more than 400 years old and its history dates back to विक्रम सम्वत 1672. It was then that the Idol of Lord Chandra Prabhu, the eighth Tirthankar of Jainism, was found during construction on the border of Naraina, a Village in Rajashthan. The two polities disputed who should take control of the idol. It was eventually decided that the idol would be put in a cart drawn by a bull and released and that the village in which the bull stopped would collectively become its owner. The bull ran almost 45 km before stopping at Adinath Jain Temple Lunwa. Residents of the nearby village of Naraina tracked the cart and handed over the Idol to the Jains of Lunwa to place in the Adinath Jain Temple, which later became Khandelwal Digambar Jain Mandir.
 * Digambar Jain Atishaya Kshetra Nasiya Ji: Shri 1008 Neminath Swami Temple, also known as Nasiya Ji, is temple situated near the Lunwa bus stand.This temple is another Chamatkar (miracle) in the Lunwa Village. Around 75 years ago, a farmer was digging a well when he found the idol of Lord Shri Chandra Prabhu and Lord Shri Shantinath. The idol was placed in the Neminath Swami Temple with proper rituals.
