This tirth was known as Madaneshpur, Vasuharikpur and Nandanpur. This is the place of mirvana of the Omniscient Madankumar of the times of Bhagawan Mallinath. Perhaps that is the reason why this place is known as Madaneshpur. This is an ancient tirth in which there were many temples. Even today, their ruins are found on the hills nearby. Thirty-two castes of the Jain community, the names of disciples and grand-disciples of Bhattaraks and the names of disciples and grand-disciples of Arpyakas are mentioned in the manuscripts here. This idol was got installed by Sheth Ralhanji during the rule of King Madanvarma in the year 1237 of the Vikram era. The story goes that by the touch of this idol, the tin purchased by Shri Panashah, turned into silver. Even today, many miracles happen here. A fair is held here every year from the thirteenth to the fifteenth day of the bright half of the month of Magasar. Many faithful devotees participate in it.
Here’s main temple is Shri 1008 Shantinath Temple, this has the 18 feet high, very beautiful colossus of Lord Shantinath, the principal deity with two standing idols of Lord Kunthunath & Arahnath in both sides.
