History related to the moolnayak idol, is said to be very ancient. Some says that it was built 7th century B.C. i.e. the 4th Aara. Inscriptions are available about presence of many Jain temples and their locality at this place 2nd century B.C. Parmar kings have built Jin temples here during the 10th Christ century. It is said that the muslin invader Mohammad Gazanavi has given orders to his soldiers not to harm this temple & idol as he felt some magical effect after coming to this place. He was on the move of conquerring India & destroying the temples and other Hindu religious places. He halted here for his treatment. Inspite he erected five Kangooras before the temple as his self memory.
