Under the inspiration of Dharmachandbhai Kamdar this village was resettled in the year. 1872 of the Vikram era. The last renovation was accomplished under the auspices of Acharya Shri Bhadrasurisvarji Maharaj Saheb. On the tenth day of the bright half of the month of Jeth in the year 2027. Once the Shravakas tried to shift the idol but When this idol was being taken out from the cellar, it become very heavy by divine power and wild bees began to fly In view of the these miracles, the plan to shift the idol was abandoned and Shravakas again reinstalled the idol at the same place. Even today, faithful devotees come here and have their desires fulfilled. A fair is held here every year on the tenth day of the dark half of the month of Magsar.
