It was formerly known as Palli (पल्ली) or Pallika (पल्लिका). According to Jinaprabha (Vividhatirthakalpa, p.86) It was a tirtha sacred to Vira or Lord Vardhamana Mahavira. The form Palli is found in that text and and also KB (p.1). In the epigraphs, from this place, we have the form Pallika and Pali.The earliest inscription from this place is dated V.S. 1144 (1087 AD), which proves that it was built before that date. This epigraph and two other epigraphs mention Viranatha or Mahavira chaitya of the place.In 17th century this temple was converted to shrine dedicated to Parshva and was given the name of Navalakha.The Palli or Pallivala gachchha of the Shvetambaras originated from this place.
