The history of Shatrunjaya Hill and its temples dates back centuries, with construction and renovations occurring over different periods. The earliest temples are believed to have been built in the 11th century. However, many were destroyed by Muslim invaders in the 14th and 15th centuries. The temples were subsequently rebuilt and expanded, with significant contributions from wealthy Jain merchants. The Adheshwar Dada Main Temple is a prominent structure within the complex, representing the enduring faith and resilience of the Jain community. The continuous additions and renovations over time have resulted in a diverse architectural style, reflecting the changing artistic and religious trends throughout history. The site remains an active pilgrimage destination, with ongoing efforts to preserve and maintain its historical and religious significance.
