The discovery of this image of 1008 Bhagwan Chandraprabh has a remarkable history . In 1956 , the excavation work was taken up for widening of the roads. A small "Talghar" was found . But, there were no signs of any image. Shri Jabharam and Mishrilal visited the site. They stated "jap (recitation of mantras) and had a dream. Accordingly after digging , three broken images were found . Later on , Late Smt. Saraswati devi w/o Late Biharilal jain started fasting .And , after three days on Shravan Shukla Navami she had a dream in the midnight about the exact location of the image.
