History & significance

A Digambara Jain pilgrimage centre (atishaya kshetra) at Lunwa village in Rajasthan, whose Khandelwal Digambar Jain Mandir enshrines an image of Adinatha and whose adjoining Nasiya Ji shrine is dedicated to Neminatha. The temple's ancient images have long drawn Digambara pilgrims to the site.

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.

An image of Chandraprabha is said to have been unearthed by a farmer digging a well, then placed on a bullock cart that ran some 45 km before halting of its own accord at the Adinatha temple at Lunwa.
