________________ New Ädinäth temple has a large sized idol of the Lord, which is disproportionate to the size of the temple. It is said that the nose of the idol in the main temple was once damaged. Tärächand Sanghavi of Surat therefore brought the new idol to replace the same. Somehow, however, the old one could not be replaced. The new idol therefore seems to have been installed in this temple, which must have been existing that time. As such the temple could have been constructed by Vastupäl and Tejpäl, as some people think. Within the temple also there are large footsteps of Lord Ädinäth. The pilgrims, who have not recited the fourth Stavan in the temple of Pundarikswämi, do it here. Around the temple, there are beautifully carved images of gods, goddesses and other artistic presentations.
