Bhattarak shree Premanand once saw this idol placed in between other confuted idols and was annoyed. He sought permission from the Nizam to move the idol to Karanja. The Nizam permitted him to take the idol to Karanja. While he was travelling he once stayed at Shirad Shahapur. There he saw a dream in which he was given a message to establish the idol at Shirad Shahpur, and thus the famous temple came into existence. Now it is well constructed with facilities for pilgrims to stay. A number of Jain pilgrims from all over India visit this place.
