Nakoda was Virampur. It is said that in the third century before the Vikrama era, two brothers, Shri Virasen and Shri
Nakoresen raised two villages Virampur and Nakorenagar at a distance of twenty miles. They also get constructed
two temples of Shri Chandraprabhu Bhagavan and Shri Suparshva Bhagavan.
