History of Chamatkar Temple
The Chamatkar Temple has been named so because of a number of fascinating miracles that were linked to its foundation. According to the history of the Chamatkar Temple , this temple belonged to a simple farmer who had found God�s idol after he dug up a particular place in the field after being directed by God in his dreams. The idol was given over to the Jain Digambaras. The legend further goes to say that the same farmer was again told by God in his dreams to place the idol in a chariot and leave it to see where the horse refuses to move further. That place was chosen the site of the temple. Thus Chamatkar Temple came to be built in Sawai Madhopur.
