Mahudi Tirth is a witness to lakhs of pilgrimes each year. The force behind this miraculous Temple is Shri Ghantakarna Mahavir Dev. Under guidance of Shrimad Buddhisagarji Maharaj Saheb the Tirth was built. When he saw Jains visiting several different temples and shrines for fulfillment of wishes and protection, he felt the need of a powerful Jain deity whom people could pray and ask for divine help and protection from evil.

He did hard 'Saadhna' (Meditation) for 3 days and with his vital powers he assessed Shri Ghantakarna Mahavir Dev 'pratyaksha' through 'havan' fire and he bounded him to protect and welfare for devotees. He immediately draw his image (flashed from fire) and later an idol was made from a river side rock since marble would take time to be delivered from Rajasthan. Shrimad BuddhiSagar Maharaj Sahebji made the idol lively by putting "Praan" (Lively Power) into it. Since then lakhs of people have experienced the miracles and fulfillment for their wishes through Lord Shri Ghantakarna Mahavir Dev in personal and professional fronts. The tirth has brought tremendous prosperity to all villagers and followers with each passing day the "Mahima" (Popularity n Prosperity) of Mahudi Tirth is increasing in multiples, the only one of its kind in India.
