Jain Temple

Rata Mahaveerji or Hathundi Teerth was built in year 313(370 V.S.) and was earlier dedicated to Parshvanatha but after the installation idol of Shri Mahaveer Bhagwan in year 1278(1335 V.S.) this temple has Bhagwan Mahaveer Swami as its primary deity.[1] This idol is made of bricks, sand and calcium, having bloodish(Rata) red colour and hence also called as Rata Mahaveerji. This 135-cm tall idol of Mahaveer Swami is in padmasan position.[2] The 4th century idol is still present in this temple. [3]
