Historicity
The inscriptions on the idols reveal that they belong to the year 1200 of the Vikram era. They were formally installed by the then King Shri Gambhirsinhji on the fifth day of the dark half of the month of Magh in the year 1928 of the Vikram era and the temple was renovated by the Sangha in the year 1959 of the Vikram era. When Shravakas asked the King to give them the idols found from the hollow of the ground, the king said that it was a disgrace to the state to give the idols. He promised them that he would build another temple for Jains and give them trading facilities. Thus the king built the temple and looked after it for years. Such a history is rare to find.
