Bhagavan
Mahavira |
The
idol of Bhagavan Mahavira is very ancient idol of the nineteenth
century found inside a nearby hill is serene,
and beautiful. The appearing of this idol of Bhagavan Mahavira is related to a
miracle. A tanner’s cow did not give milk. On looking for the
reason, it was found that the cow used to go and stand on a hill and
all her milk oozed out. The tanner had various doubts but the could
not know the reason. At last when digging was done on the hill, an
idol appeared. Hearing that an idol had appeared, worshippers
enthusiastically came rushing from far and wide. By merely bowing
their head to the idol, people had their wishes fulfilled. This
splendid temple was, therefore, built and the idol was installed.
Even today, worshippers who bow their head to the idol, feel
boundless peace and their wishes are fulfilled. Impressed extremely
by the idol, the kings of Jaipur donate the expenses of the lamp,
incense and other material for worshipping. The annual fair is held
here from the thirteenth day of the bright half of the month of
Chaitra to the first day of the dark half of the month of Vaishakh.
