The temple was established in 1956 following the recovery of an idol of Chandraprabha on 16 August 1956. In 1972, another  idol chandraprabhu in the lotus position was discovered. The white stone idol was retrieved from underground, reinforcing the belief that this place was once a Dehra, a place where Jain idols are worshipped. After the setting up of the Jain temple, the place has regained its former importance as a pilgrimage centre. Main temple and idol
