Historicity: There is a reference to this village in the list of the members of the committee appointed for the annual function of Abu - Delwada in the year 1287 of the Vikram era. This temple is mentioned in the Tirthmala composed by Poet Megh in the year 1499 of the Vikram era. It seems that his temple was buried in an earthquake. The large idol of Bhagawan and the idols of Bhagawan Parshvanath and Bhagawan Vimalnath in the Kayotsarga posture were found during digging of the ground near a hill outside the village. This temple was renovated and this ancient extraordinary idol was reinstalled in the year 1920 of the Vikram era. Many ruins of buildings outside the village reveal that this was a large city of many temples. Inscriptions also state that rich merchants of this place participated in many religious activities.
