{{Main|Mahudi Jain Temple}}<br />
<br />
Mahudi Jain Temple was established by Jain monk, [[Buddhisagar Suri]]<ref name=kc/> in 1917 CE (Magshar Sudi 6, ''[[Vikram Samvat]]'' 1974). There is an inscription in the Brahmi script of it. The foundation stone was laid in 1916 CE on land donated by Vadilal Kalidas Vora. He along with Punamchand Lallubhai Shah, Kankkuchand Narsidas Mehta and Himmatlal Hakamchand Mehta became trustees of trust established to manage the temple. The 22-inch marble idol of [[Padmaprabh]] as a central deity was installed. The separate shrine dedicated to protector deity, [[Ghantakarna Mahavir]] was also established. Guru Mandir, a shrine dedicated to Buddhisagar Suri was established later.<br />

Devotees offer ''[[Sukhdi|sukhadi]]'', a sweet to Ghantakarna Mahavir. After offering, it is consumed by devotees within the temple complex.<ref name=kc/><br />
