'''Chand Khedi''' is a small village near [[Kota, Rajasthan]] where a very old temple of [[Rishabhdev]] is situated. This temple was often invaded by [[Aurangzeb]], one of the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] rulers, but he was unable to destroy the temple.<br />
<br />
==Location==<br />
Chand Khedi is located at {{convert|55|km|mi}} from [[Atru railway station]] on Kota-Guna line of the Western Railway.<br />
<br />
==Legends==<br />
Chand Khedi figures prominently in two [[Jainism|Jain]] legends. It is a place of miracles. All wishes made by the disciples are fulfilled by the Lord.<br />
<br />
In the first of these legends, dating back to the time of the Mughal invasions, a blow from an invader's axe damaged the toe of the Rishabhdev temple idol, resulting in a flow of milk which swept away the invaders and kept the temple safe.{{citation needed|date=March 2012}}<br />
<br />
A more recent legend dates to 2002, when a Jain saint named [[Sudhasagar]] unearthed three carved crystal images of Jain [[Tirthankara]]s in a nearby cave. Sudhasagar was advised in a dream about the location of the images, and the images are significantly older than the 1200 year age of the village itself.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jainsamaj.org/magazines/may2002.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=2009-11-05 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081206180455/http://www.jainsamaj.org/magazines/may2002.htm |archive-date=6 December 2008 |df=dmy }}</ref><br />
