History

Situated on the bank of river Sheonath, amidst entrancing natural scenery, this shrine of the 23rd Teerthankar Lord Shri Parshwanath commemorates his holy visit to this region about 3000 years ago as a Shraman (A wandering mendicant dedicated to self-realization through self-sacrifice). Scattered Jain Sculptures, a large number of devotees, and a dilapidated ancient shrine along with Lord’s Foot – prints historically prove the Lord’s journey to this area. The mysterious manner of locating, finding, procuring, and then installing this ancient idol also proves categorically, his divine grace.
