Historicity
Associated with miracles of milk and sand, this idol appeared from the hollow of the ground. It was variously installed in the year 1181 and 1199 of the Vikram era. By many rich merchants and sanghas, it was renovated in the years 1552, 1653, 1935 and 1992 of the Vikram era. In "Vividh Tirthkalp", it is mentioned that by bowing the head to this tirth, one gets the benefit of pilgrimaging the 64 tirths. The secret of this tirth is deep. By searching according to the dream of Shri Gopak Dhandhal this miraculous idol was found and the work of its installation in the temple started. When the work stopped due to lack of funds, the presiding deity appeared and said them that they would always find in front of the idol a swastik made of gold coins and the work would be completed but nobody should came to know it. The presiding deity here is very miraculous. During his invasion, Shahbuddin gave blows to this temple and the idol. The idol was broken and, therefore, the Sultan fell ill, and began to suffer pains. Therefore, he ordered his army to leave this temple unbroken. A fair is held here every year on the tenth day of the dark half of the month of Bhadrapad and of the month Magasar.
