Visitors can expect a large, modern Jain temple complex built in the form of the Jain emblem, rising about 80 feet high. The central shrine houses a 31-foot white marble statue of Lord Rishabhanatha (Adinath) along with idols of other Tirthankaras. Interiors feature carved pillars, domes, paintings and models depicting Jain cosmology of Adholok, Madhyalok and Urdhvalok. The complex includes open courtyards, a meditation hall, exhibition areas explaining Jain principles, and landscaped surroundings. The atmosphere is quiet and devotional, with facilities for pilgrims.

Trilok Teerth Dham was conceptualized and inspired by Jain Acharya Shri Sanmati Sagar Ji Maharaj to create a temple representing the Jain doctrine of Trilok. Construction was carried out by devotees and the Jain community over several years with marble and modern construction techniques, and the temple was inaugurated in the 2010s. It was built to serve as a centre for Jain religious education and pilgrimage in western Uttar Pradesh.

The Dham holds significance for followers of Jainism as a representation of the Jain universe and the three worlds. It is dedicated primarily to Lord Rishabhanatha, the first Tirthankara, and enshrines idols of the 24 Tirthankaras. The complex serves as an important pilgrimage site, a centre for Jain teachings, meditation and cultural gatherings, and attracts devotees especially during Jain festivals such as Mahavir Jayanti and Paryushana.
