Mulnayak:
Nearly 107 cms high, black-colored idol of Bhagawan Parshvanath in the
semi-Padmasana posture.
Tirth:
It is outside the Shirpur village.
Historicity:
The idol in this temple is very ancient. Mali and Sumali, the servants of
Khaldusan, the brother-in-law (sister’s husband) of King Ravan made this
idol of sand and cowing under inspiration of their devotion to God. Then
this remained unseen for years. It again appeared with miracles in the
year 1142 of the Vikram era. On the fifth day of the bright half of the
month of Magh in the year 1942 of the vikram era it was reinstalled in a
new temple under the auspices of Acharya Abhaydevsurishvarji. It was
renovated several times. Under instructions of Ganivarya Bhavavijayji, it
was reinstalled on the fifth day of the bright half of the month of
Chaitra in the year 1715 of the vikrak era. This idol is very miraculous.
It removes the diseases and harassment of devotees. At the time of its
installation the idol was at horizontal distance of six fingers from the
ground. At present on account of the effect of the times, miracles are
seen only by the faithful fortunate devotees. A fair is held on the third
day of the bright half of the month of Fagan and on then tenth day of the
dark half of the month of Magasar.
