About the appearance of this miraculous idol of Bhagwan Mahaveer, it is said that about 400 years ago, a leather Man’s cow returned to home after giving up her milk on the top of a hillock. This was continued for several days. So one day the leather man followed the cow and saw this miracle by his own eyes. Then he decided to dig the place to know the secret of hillock. As he started digging, he heard a voice “dig carefully”.
So he became more careful in digging and thus this magnificent coral colored idol of Bhagwan Mahaveer came out of the earth. The idol is made of sand stone in Padmasana posture.
As soon as the news of this event spread, large number of devotees started coming here from every where. The desires of pilgrims were materialized after visiting & worship of Bhagwan Mahaveer’s miraculous idol. Thus the Kshetra Mahaveerji became famous even up to distant places.
Now a days Shri Mahaveerji Atishaya Kshetra is one of the most popular Kshetras of Jains.
Getting impressed by this miraculous Bhagwan Mahaveer’s idol, Shri Amar Chand Bilala of Baswa (Jaipur) constructed a vast & magnificent temple here. When the time came to install this idol in temple, idol became immovable. So many efforts were made but all in vain. In the last, the leather man was called to install the idol, as the leather man touched idol, this became movable and thus this was installed in the temple properly.
Now a days also thousands of devotees come here getting attracted by the miracles of Bhagwan Mahaveer’s idol, irrespective of cast, faith & religion and get satisfied with their desires materialized.
