[1] The idol of the principal deity of this temple, Lord Rishabhanatha (Adinatha), the first Tirthankara, is supposed to be 4000 years old.

The sacred temple has seven underground floors which are kept closed due to old religious beliefs and visitors are not allowed to see them.

It is said that only a Balyati ascetic Digambara saint can enter it and can bring out the idols of this underground temple for a limited period, which is declared and decided previously.

[citation needed] In 1999, Muni Sudhasagar visited the temple and brought thirty-nine valuable Jain idols.

The idols were brought from the fourth underground floor and many yakshas (in the form of snakes) were encountered, protecting the treasure.
