Brief History

Unearthed while making a road about 30 years ago, this idol was installed in a small room. Later with the advent of pilgrims the need for a bigger premises was felt. Thus the ‘Jeernodhara’ was done. From many places nearby, ancient idols have been found.The idol of the ‘Moolnayak’ has lions on both sides, so archaeologists believe that it belongs to Emperor Ashoka’s period. The idol is so impressive that one virtually feels the presence of the Lord.
