Sonipat Neminath Digambar Jain Mandir

Underneath the Mool Vedi of the temple, there used to be a basement which has been closed for quite some time. Around the year 1966, one day when the basement was opened, snakes and scorpions started coming out of it. There was a silver throne placed inside the basement. However, due to fear of snakes and scorpions, no one wanted to go down and bring the throne out. With great courage, Mrs. Indira Devi descended into the basement and brought the throne out safely, without being harmed by any snake or scorpion. It was remarkable that despite the presence of so many snakes and scorpions, Mrs. Indira Devi remained unharmed. Later, the basement was closed with the help of sand.
