The antiquity of this place is believed to be that of the time of Tirthankar Sri Munisuvratswamiji Bhagwan. References are found at many places that Lankapati Sri Ravan and Mandodari worshipped Jineshwar Bhagwan at various places after creating the idol. According to one reference Sri Ravan and Mandodari were traveling by “viman” to some place. Enroute they halted near Alwar for taking rest. They used to do “Pooja” before taking meals. Incidentally they forgot to carry the idol of Prabhu and hence Mandodari had to make an idol out of sand with full devotion. They performed “Pooja” on this idol and this is the idol which is today well known as Sri Ravan Parshwanath. Because of this, this shrine is called as Sri Ravan Parshwanath.According to a reference, the temple of Sri Ravan Parshwanath existed here in Vikram year 1449. Reference of Sri Ravan Parshwanath Mandir is also found in various Tirthmalas composed later. From this the antiquity of this place is known. In Vikram year 1645, the temple was renovated and the ancient idol of Sri Ravan Parshwanath was consecrated which exists here at present.A Jain Mandir in dilapidated condition exists even today at about 4 Kms from this place which is called “Ravan Dehra” )Sri Pavan Parshwanath Jain Mandir). Due to some political, religious and social reasons it was necessary to change the location of the place. From all the above information, the antiquity of the place is easily known.Apart from being ancient, this shrine is of great historical importance. The chief devotee of Jineshwar Bhagwan Lankapati Sri Ravan, who would be the 24th Tirthankar in the future set of Tirthankars, and Mandodari, had built here an attractive idol of Sri Parshvaprabhu and got it consecrated. The shrine is now called as Sri Ravan Parshwanath.At present besides this temple, there is one more temple and one Dadawadi. All the ancient idols in the temple, including that of Sri Ravan Parshwanath, are carved out artistically and are beautiful. The art of the specimens found in the above referred dilapidated temple is very impressive.
