A Jain tirtha in Kutch traditionally dated to 516 BCE and rebuilt nine times, with a major 13th-century renovation by the merchant Jagadusha and patronage recorded from Samprati Maurya and Vanaraja Chavda; the shrines were reconstructed after the 2001 Gujarat earthquake on a plan echoing the Dilwara temples.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
