History & significance

A Jain temple within the ruins of Shravasti, dedicated to the third Tirthankara Sambhavanatha, whose recovered images have been dated to the tenth and eleventh centuries. An Irani-style dome was added in the medieval period, and Jain rulers are recorded in the area in the ninth and tenth centuries.

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.

Sambhavanatha is held to have taken diksha in the nearby Sahetuk forest and to have spent fourteen years there before attaining moksha.
