Sanderak Gacchha was founded here during 10th Vikram century. It is said that in Vikram year 969, at the time of ceremonial installation festival after repairs and renovations of the temple, Acharya
Yashobhadrasurishvara by his Yogic powers had commandeered necessary quantity of ghee from a trader at Pali about which the trader himself did not know and later on when people from Sanderao sent the amount being the price of the ghee to the trader of Pali, the latter did not accept the amount as not belonging to him. Finally the whole amount which came to be nine lakhs of rupees was spent in building a temple at Pali which temple still stands today as “Navlakha Temple”. The idol of the Presiding Deity in this temple is a great worker of miracles. Some times the yaksha
of the Tirthankara Parshva
, Dharnendra, appears in the temple in the form of a cobra. Opposite the temple is an Upashraya, there is the seat of Manibhadra Yaksh where also many miracles happen from time to time. Every year on Vaishakh Sukla 6, the dhvaja ceremony of the temple takes place.
The architecture of this temple is unique. The temple is 6 feet below the ground level. During rains a great amount of water gets collected in the temple. In the temple chowk (a built up area within the temple) there is a hole from which all this water gets drained away. How this happens and where does the water ultimately go, nobody has been able to know till date. The idol itself is very pleasant and beautiful to see.
