Jain History
Its 12th century name was Jangalakupa (जांगलकूप). Jaina records mention it as Jangalakupa-durga (जांगलकूप-दुर्ग) as we learn from a Jaina Inscription of V.S.1176. This inscription mentions about the Mahavira temple of the place and records installation of image of Shantinatha in this temple. This place was also known as Ajayapura (अजयपुर) as we learn from another Jaina Inscription, recording the installation of image of Mahavira, of the same date.It is known for temples dedicated to Rishabhadeva and Mahavira.

[p.170]: Jangalu is a very ancient site. It is about 15 km from Deshnok. From an inscription dated V.E. 1176 incised on the pedestal of Mahavira icon lying in the temple of Mahavir (Dagon Ki Guwad) Bikaner, we gather that there was an ancient temple in the fort of Jangalkup. This icon was installed by Nadhak's son Tilhak. At present there are no ancient temples
[p.171]: here. The Parshvanath temple is very modern with several icons dated VE 1887 (1830 AD)The foot prints of Jinkusal Suri were also installed on stone in the same year. [2]
