The actual name of Bhatkuli Jain temple is Adinath Swami Digambar Jain Samsthan (Atishaya Kshetra) Bhatkuli Jain. It is an Atishaya Kshetra (place of miracles). Shri Bhatkuli is the transformed name of Bhojkut City of ancient Vidharba that was established by Rukmi, brother of Lord Krishna`s chief queen, Rukmini. Bhatkuli is famous for the eye-catching, ancient idol of Bhagwan Adinath made of black stone, by King Rukmi in the Mahabharata period. He established the idol in a magnificient temple, which the archaeologists say is 3000 years old. Later Bhatkuli was ruled by Shatvahanas, Vatakas and Rashtrakootas, but after these kingly era, the downfall started. In V.S. 1156, the idol was shoved underground in a fort, to save it from the vengeance of the Mughals. It remained hidden in that manner till the 18th century. In the later part of the 18th century, the statue of Adinath was dreamt by the chief of the village Bhatkuli. The Lord explained to him that in that particular spot where the idol was hidden, a cow continuously gave up her milk. Accordingly the chief ordered a thorough search by digging the place and the miraculous statue of Adinath Swami was recovered. A shiver went down the spine of the villagers, and they started to believe that the idol had supernatural powers, to heal their wishes, thus revering it with faith and worship. Much later, Poojya Acharya Shri Nemsagarji Maharaj came to the village of Bhatkuli, and seeing the statue, he instantly recognised it to be the ancient idol of Bhagwan Adinath, the first Teerthankar of Jains and persuaded the villagers about the fact. In this manner a beautiful Digambar Jain temple was constructed to place the idol with unquestionable help of the villagers.

The principal deity is of Lord Adinath`s, in black colour, shown seated in a cross-legged posture. The villagers of this village believe in Adinath,a s do the Jains, so the village is known as Bhatkuli village all over India. Work and worship starts daily at 9 AM and continue through the evening. Bhatkuli Temple changes its shade in Rathyatra Utsav every year in 5th of Kartik Shukla, when it takes a new leaf with devotees attending the festival in lakhs. To fill in the pilgrims, a guesthouse is equipped with modern facilities. The managing committee, Shri Adinath Swami Digambar Jain Samsthan (Atishaya Kshetra) Bhatkuli Jain, looks after the entire infrastructure of the temple. The other temples in the neighbourhood worth a visit are, Bhagwan Parsvanath Mandir, Bhagwan Chandranath (Chandraprabhu) Mandir and Unique Artistic Manstambha.
