miraculous, it is widely famous. The idol often works miracles. Shri Uddeshi Shravaka got
this idol from a villager. He took it home and put it in the granary. The granary got
filled with grains. Similarly, the ghee - pots remained full, though ghee was used. The
devotees, therefore, called the idol Dhrutakallol Parshvanath. This temple was formally

of the Vikram era. Three in a year, the sun rays touch the feet of the idol.
