appointed for the annual function of Abu - Delwada in the year 1287 of the
Vikram era. This temple is mentioned in the Tirthmala composed by Poet Megh
in the year 1499 of the Vikram era. It seems that his temple was buried in
an earthquake. The large idols of Bhagawan
Parshvanath and Bhagawan Vimalnath in the Kayotsarga posture were found
from the hollow of a ground near a hill outside the village. This temple
was renovated and this ancient extraordinary idol was reinstalled in the
year 1920 of the Vikram era. Many ruins of buildings outside the village
reveal that this was a large city of many temples. Inscriptions also state
that rich merchants of this place participated in many religious
activities. A flag is hoisted on the thirteenth day of the bright half of
the month of Magh.
