There is also mention that the idol of Bhagawan Red Mahavir was here in the year 1335 of the Vikram era. This tirth was renovated in the year 2006 of the Vikram era. The old fourth - century idol is still there. Here under the idol of Bhagawan Mahavir, there is a mark of a lion and the head is of an elephant.
