Renovations of Shri Shatrunjay
Karmasha favoured Prince Bahadurkhan which was returned by him when he became king. A written permission to renovate Shatrunjay was granted.
The idol of 'Dada' was carved from a beautiful stone saved by Vastupal for any possible mishap. In V.S. 1587 on Vaishakh Vad 6, in Shravan Nakshtra, the 'Pratishtha' was performed by Shri Vidyamandansuriji. Karmasha also managed to get abolished the state tax on pilgrims to Shatrunjay.
(5) SEVENTEENTH RENOVATION
It is mentioned in 'Shatrunjay Mahatmya' by Shri Dhaneshwarsuriji that the Seventeenth renovation will take place at the appropriate time.
