This pratimaji had been prayed by Indra-Dev , Surya-Dev and Chandra-Dev etc and due to such poojas , the power of the statue has increased unbelievable and cannot express. If you wish in front of him or just think of him your wish will be fulfilling without any effort not only sansarik wishes if you wish moksha , bhakti etc. you get blessing unconditionally. Great place built by Jain community , where anyone can find their soul here. Worshipers since 8700 years , this idol specially attracts the faithful worshipers.
