It is famous for the exceptionally crafted life size image of Lord (Aranatha) in standing (Kayotsarga) posture.
In 1940s the site was noted as a collection of ruined sculptures and a set of columns inscribed with Samvat 1203 in a nearby village.
Since the spot was in a forest, it was proposed that the main image should be transported to nearby town, however it was opposed by local villagers.
The tirth has been visited by Acharyas Vidyasagar, Vardhmansagar, Devnandi, Padmanandi, Viragsagar, Gyansagar, Vishuddhasagar, vibhavasagar as well as a number of other munis and aryikas.
