History-
An inscription of 1172 of the Vikram era says that Bhagawan Mahavir Swami was
the main deity here. At the time of renovation in the year 2014, the ancient
idol of Bhagawan Shantinath was installed here. All the idols in this temple
seem to belong to the thirteenth century. There were as many as hundred stepped
wells. Even today, the stepped well-named Jetal is very large and beautiful.
A flag is hoisted here every year on the third day of the bright half of the
month of Falguna. There is another temple named Vasupujaya Vatika, installed in
the year 1982 of the Vikram era. The idols of Gajalaxmi and of Saraswatidevi are
artistic and attractive.
