Historical Details :

History of this teerth starts from the period of 8th Teerthankar Shri Chandraprabh Bhagwan. Once upon a time, King Mahasen was the ruler of this place. On a lucky day his wife Queen Laxmimati has seen a miraculous nightmare giving indications of birth of Teerthankar. Right on that moment, the soul (jeev) of Padmanabh entered in the kukchhi (ovary) of Laxmimati. She gave birth to a son on Poush Krishna 11 in Anuradha nakshatra. As she desired moon (Chandra) during her pregnancy, the newborn child was named As Chandraprabh. He was married in his younger days and after ruling many years he decided to take deeksha. Prabhu took Deeksha after performing Varshidaan with eleven thousand kings on Poush Krishna Teras in Anuradha nakshatra at Sahasamra Van. He came to same place after roaming for three years and started meditation under a Punnag tree. It was here that Prabhu attained Kevalgyan on Falgun Krishna Saptami in Anuradha nakshatra. The Indra along with many other dev has organised samavasaran on this occasion. Many Sashtras & Teerth Malas describe this teerth.
