Historicity: This tirth is believed to belong to the times of Bhagawan
Mahavir. It is described in the 'Jagachintamani Stotra'. The ancient name of Sanchor was
Satyapur or Satyapuri. It is also mentioned in the various trithakalps composed in the
fourteenth century, the impact of this tirth was so great that people of other religions
became jealous. But nobody could do any damage to the idol. There is a reference that at
last Alludin Khilji deceitfully took the golden idol to Delhi. Here stands a mosque. It
was a Jain temple in the ancient times. When the temple was built, is not known today. But
it was renovated in the year 1963. There is no information about the golden idol that
Alludin took away to Delhi. The existing idol of Mulnayak is very ancient and impressive.
This is the birth-place of the great poet Samaysundarji,
