Shri Kavi Tirth

The ancient name of this place was Kankavati. The temple was renovated in the 1645 of the vikram era. It was formally installed by Shri Vijaysensurisvarji. It was named ‘Sarvajit Prasad’. The idol of Bhagawan Dharmnath was also formally installed by Maharaj Saheb in the year 1655 of the vikram era. It was named ‘Ratnatilak Prasad’. The temple was renovated many times. This temple was built by a mother-in-law (sasu) and his son’s wife (vahu). When his son’s wife struck against the door-frame, her mother-in-law taunted. Virabhai, the son’s wife, therefore, built with money from her parental home, a temple of 52 idols brightly shining like a God’s residence. The chief idol is of Bhagawan Dharmanath. A fair is held here on the seventh day of the dark half of the month of Posh every year. Even today, this temple is famous as the sasu-vahu temple.
