The place was called Unnatpur in the past. This shrine is believed to be a very ancient one. There is a saying which is popular : “ Una, Poona and gadh Juna etran Juna” (Una, Poona and fort Juna, these are old). The building period of this temple is believed to be one of Raja Samprati. In the composition entitled “Tirthmala” by Sri Upadhyay Vinayprabhji in 14th Vikram century. It is said that once upon a time this was a very prosperous and affluent city where existed about seven hundred Jain Paushadhashalas. This shrine is one of the Ajahara Panch Teerth of Saurashtra. In the underground cell of this temple, a large size idol of Sri Adinath Bhagwan is worth seeing. Adjacent to this, in another cell there is the idol of Sri Amizara Parshvanath Bhagwan on which oozed “ami” (ambrosia) is frequently to be found. Sometimes an old Cobra appears with its hood protecting (as an umbrella) the Lord’s idol overhead.Sri Vijayhirsurishvarji who gave religious discourses to the Emperor Akbar away here on Bhadarva Sukla 11 in Vikram year 1652.
