The temple of Shri Vimalnath Bhagwan is particularly famous for its beautiful hand – painted pictures.The history of Shri Jiaganj Teerth states that Shri Jiaganj Teerth is a very ancient teerth. Jain religion has been famous here. Ruins of many Jain temples have been found here that prove the antiquity of the place. Murshidkulikhaan had been appointed as the minister or diwan of states of West Bengal, Bihar and Orissa by Aurangzeb in 1600. Their capital was situated at Dhaka. The teerth had a predominant place for the Jain traders for the rich port city Baloochar (Azimganj Jiaganj). Kathgola, Baloochar (Jiaganj) and Azimganj were assigned the Zamindar of the region. The Jagatseth (Gelada), Nawlakha, Singhi, Dugar, Kothari, Nahar, Dudhodia and Golechha clans shouldered the responsibilities of the state. After an invasion in 1608 Murshid Quli Jafar Khan made Laalbaug his capital. It was named as Murshidabad district after him. It is said that Lord Mahavira had preached the people here in this teerth kshetra. Thus in his memory many Jain temples had been built here. The idol of Lord Parshwanatha is believed to possess miraculous powers and is visited by thousands of Jains and non Jains from far off places. They come here to offer their prayers to the Lord and receive his blessings. It is believed that if prayed with all devotion the Lord fulfils the wishes of the pilgrims.
