Yes, according to Jain tradition, Lord Rishabhdev (also known as Adinath), the first Tirthankara, instructed his eldest son, Bharat Chakravarti, to perform important religious activities after attaining Kevalgyan (omniscience). One of these instructions was to construct a temple (Jinalaya) and perform the first 'Abhisheka' (ceremonial bathing or consecration) of a Tirthankara idol.

This event marks a significant milestone in Jain history, as it signifies the beginning of the tradition of temple building and idol worship (Murtipuja) in Jainism. The first Abhisheka (called 'Panch Kalyanak Pratishtha Mahotsav') was thus performed by Bharat Chakravarti following his father's guidance. This tradition continues to be an integral part of Jain religious practice today.

References to this story can be found in Jain texts such as the "Adi Purana" and "Padmapurana." The event is especially remembered in connection with the famous Shatrunjaya and Ashtapad Tirths, which are associated with Rishabhdev and Bharat.
