The idol of Bhagwan Parshwanatha is very attractive, it is said that Bhagawan Parshwanatha destroies the worries and sins of the devotees. A story states that once an attempt was made to shift the idol to a different place to avoid the Muslim invasions and the cart carrying the idol could not move and a devotee had a dream that the idol should not be shifted. Hence the idol was reinstalled at the present temple. The local people considers the idol as their village Lord.
