Historicity: This temple is
regarded to be very ancient. The last renovation was accomplished in the year 2022 and the
idol was installed. Once the Maharana of Udaipur came here on a pilgrimage. While he was
going to make mark of Chandan (sandal paste) on forehead, he saw a mustache hair in the
bowl of saffron and in fun he said to the worshipper in the temple, "It seems that
God has mustaches". And the worshipper who was devoted to God said, "Yes, God
can assume various forms as He wishes." The obstinate king said, "I will stay
here for three days. I want to be Mahavir with mustaches." Gratified with the worship
of the devoted worshipper, Mahavir with mustaches, appeared to the Rana. Therefore, this
idol came to be called Muchhala Mahavir. Even today many miracles happen here. A fair is
held here every year on the thirteenth day of the month of Chaitra. This tirth belongs to
the group of the five Godval tirths.
