Legends
Chand Khedi figures prominently in two Jain legends.
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.
A more recent legend dates to 2002, when a Jain disciple named Sudhasagar claims to have discovered three carved crystal images of Jain Tirthankaras in a nearby cave. Sudhasagar claimed that he had been advised in a dream of the location of the images, and that the images were significantly older than the 1200 year age of the village itself.

Forgotten mornings when he walked with his mother
Through the parables
Of sunlight
And the legends of the green chapels
And the twice-told fields of infancy”

A path decorated with our comings and goings. Or so I’ve been told.”
