Legends

Chand Khedi figures prominently in two Jain legends. It is a place of miracles. All wishes made by the disciples are fulfilled by the Lord.

In the first of these legends, dating back to the time of the Mughal invasions, a blow from an invader's axe damaged the toe of the Rishabhdev temple idol, resulting in a flow of milk which swept away the invaders and kept the temple safe.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

A more recent legend dates to 2002, when a Jain saint named Sudhasagar unearthed three carved crystal images of Jain Tirthankaras in a nearby cave. Sudhasagar was advised in a dream about the location of the images, and the images are significantly older than the 1200 year age of the village itself.[1]
