This is a small village near Kalol 78 kms from Ahmedabad famous for Jinalaya of Ghantakarna Mahavir. There are thousands of people from different religions offering prayers besides Jain devotees. The temple's prasad-Sukhadi is not allowed to be taken outside the temple. It is a centre of pilgrimage for the Jains devotees and Khadayata Banias. Jain temple is dedicated to Vir Ghantakarna. 'Yognistha Acharya Bhagwant Shrimad BuddhiSagarsuri Maharaj Sahebji' had observed a long period of penance here and had inspired the construction of new temple. Devotees offer `sukhadi', which after offering, is eaten within the temple complex. Large and clean sarai offers comfortable stay to the pilgrims
