Historicity:
Its ancient name was
Kankavati. The present temple of Bhagawan Adinath was renovated in the 1645 of the Vikram
era. It was formally installed by Shri Vijaysensurisvarji. It was named ‘Sarvajit
Prasad’. The idol of Bhagawan Dharmnath was also formally installed by the same.
Maharaj Saheb in the year 1655 of the vikram era. It was named ‘Ratnatilak
Prasad’. The temple was renovated many times. This temple was built by a
mother-in-law (sasu) and his son’s wife (vahu). When his son’s wife struck
against the door-frame, her mother-in-law taunted. Virabhai, the son’s wife,
therefore, built with money from her parental home, a temple of 52 idols brightly shining
like a God’s residence. The chief idol is of Bhagawan Dharmanath. Every year, a fair
is held here on the seventh day of the dark half of the month of Posh. Even today, this
temple is famous as the sasu-vahu temple.
Other Temples: There are no other temples.
Works of art and Sculpture: The artistry of the summits of the Ratnaprasad
temple and the scene outside the temple are splendid and fascinating. The temple built as
a results of the taunts given by Hirabai, the mother-in-law and Virabai, the son’s
wife, to each other, is really peaceful and beautiful and the place is sighty and
splendid.
