History

It is difficult to know the true antiquity of this shrine but the temple was ceremonially consecrated after repairs and renovations on Maha Sukla 7 in Vikram year 1926. Swetambers call it Mt. Shatrunjay of South Maharashtra. Festival fairs are held here on Kartik and Chaitra Poornima and also Posh Krishna 10 every year when devotees in thousands gather to participate in prayers and worship. The shrine located on the top of a small mountain appears magnificent and beautiful and ever green fields below in the surrounding small villages also appears pleasing and attractive from the mountain top.There is one more Digamber temple here nearby and a Swetamber temple at the Foot-hills of the mountain.
