Historicity: This ancient and miraculous image of Bhagawan Satyadev Sumatinath was found from the open ground of the village ‘Suhunj’ of the Mahemadavad Taluk. It was formally installed in the splendid temple of Matar in the year 1854 of the Vikram era. Later on, it was renovated many times. When the idol was being brought to Matar, there was a heavy flood on account of rains in the catchments area of the Vatrak and the Rodhi rivers. All the devotees present there, decided to halt and wait there. But the cart-driver saw sand instead of water. Thus they crossed the river without any difficulty, and the devotees Shouted out of joy - ‘Satyadev Sumitinath’. The idol is, therefore, called Bhagawan ‘Sacha Sumitinath’. Many miracles happened here from time to time
