History & significance

A Shvetambara tirtha in the Sirohi hills whose Parshvanatha image, installed by Acharya Deva Gupta Suri in 894, is counted among the 108 most venerated Parshvanatha idols; the present structure dates to 1134 and was restored by 2017 after damage in the 2001 earthquake.

Sthala katha — the traditional account

What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.

A Brahmin boy's cow is said to have emptied her milk each day beside a cave, and a Jain merchant who dreamed of a Parshvanatha image at that spot dug there and found it.
