This temple belongs to the 12th century. There is a very interesting story behind the origin of this beautiful and delightful idol of Bhagwan Sherisa Parshvanath. Seeing the natural beauty of Sherisa village, Acharya Shri Devendrasurishvarji was overjoyed and felt that this place was right for spiritual endeavours. By his divine knowledge, he saw a huge stone lying under the earth in the village. He felt that a beautiful idol of Bhagwan could be carved out of that stone. So, he prayed to Goddess Padmavati by fasting for three days (Attham tap). Goddess Padmavati appeared before him and gave him the necessary directions. Accordingly, a blind sculptor from the village of Soparak was called. This blind sculptor started to carve a beautiful idol after sunset from the stone which was found. He carved this idol of Parshvanath by fasting for three days. Before sunrise, a captivating idol of Parshvanath was carved. This idol was carved in a single night. That same night, Acharyaji thought of bringing four other idols of Thirthankaras from Ayodhya by his divine powers. Three idols reached Sherisa before sunrise and one idol was installed in Dharasenak village. Twenty-four more idols of Thirthankaras were brought to Sherisa. Kumarpal Maharaja also got a captivating idol made for this temple. All these idols were installed in a huge temple by Acharya Shri Devendrasurishvarji. The idol carved by the blind sculptor came to be known as “Sherisa Parshvanath”. The Mulnayak idol of Parshvanath was vaccilating and hence itcame to be known as “Lodhan Parshvanath”. By the divine powers of the Acharya, the idol stopped vaccilating and stood firm. In the 13th century, Mahamatya Tejpal built two Dev kulikas in this temple. In one, the idol of Neminath Bhagwan with Parrikar and in the other, the idol of AmbikaDevi was installed. The installation was done by the revered hands of Acharya Shri Vijaysensurishvarji. The idol of Padmavati Devi was installed in this temple in V.S.1420. At present, this ancient idol of Padmavati Devi is in Naroda Parshvanath temple in Ahmedabad. During the Muslim invasion in the 18th century, this temple was damaged. The jain community people safeguarded the idols. The temple again came into limelight in V.S.1969 when the great Acharya Shri VijayNemisurishvarji came to Kalol. On seeing the dilapidated temple, he asked the jain community to restore the temple. A huge temple was built by the Seth Shri Sarabhai Dahyabhai of Ahmedabad. In the year 2002 of the Vikram era, the installation ceremony was done by therevered hands of Acharya Shri Vijaynemisurishvarji on the 10th day of the bright half of the month of Vaishakh. The management of this temple is in the hands of Seth Shri Anandji Kalyanji Pedhi.This idol of Sherisa Parshvanath is beautifully carved from a single stone by a blind sculptor in a single night. This idol is one of its kind and should be seen to believe. It is very alluring, unique, influential and miraculous. Many miracles happen here. Once a rich merchant lost all his ships in the sea. His wealth was gone and he became poor. His wife was ridiculed by a lady and she decided to call all her community people for lunch the next day. She came and told her husband of her decision. They prayed to Shri Sherisa Parshvanath to help them in this difficult situation. After sometime, a snake came and hid in a hole nearby. The lady fearing her disgrace the next day, put her hand in the hole thinking the snake would bite her. But a miracle happened. Instead of the snake biting her, a gold chain came in her hands. She sold the chain and with great delight served luncheon to her community people. This miracle of Parshvanath Bhagwan spread far and wide. When Acharya Nemisurishvarji and his disciples were coming to Sherisa, they lost the way. A voice asked them to go the other way. Not seeing anyone they continued on their journey and were surprised for sitting in the middle they saw a huge blue coloured snake (Dharnendra Dev). The dev showed them the right direction and asked them to go in that direction. Acharyaji and his disciples reached their destination after a short while.
