Historicity:
The ancient artistic remains in this temple show the antiquity of this
tirth. It is believed to belong to a period earlier than the tenth century
of the Vikram era. In this temple, there are metal idols of the 24
Tirthankaras. There is an inscription that damaged during the Muslim rule,
this temple was renovated in the year 1649 of the Vikra era. In the times
of King Vikramaditya, this village was a street of the city of Ujjain and
in it there was a palace of King Vikramaditya and beside it there was
palace of the queen. It is now called Ranikot. It is said that many
miracles happened in this tirth. Once the Shravakas wished to carry the
idol to Ujjain. After their disxcussion, they entered the temple to bow
their heads to the idol. There they saw a snake indicating ‘no’ and
the Shravakas gave up the idea. On account of many such miracles, this
temple is held in high esteem even today.
