Story of Manmohan Parshwanath


Nandasan stands as an ancient pilgrimage site, and a new temple was constructed under the guidance and directives of Acharya Shri Vijay Rajendrasurishwarji. The auspicious installation of the new idol of Bhagwan Manmohan Parshvanatha took place on the 7th day of the bright half of the month of Vaishakh in V.S. 2051, skillfully executed by the revered hands of Acharya Shri Vijay Rajendarsurishvarji. Almost four decades ago, the old idol of Manmohan Parshvanath was relocated from the former village of Nandasan and has been preserved in a sanctified enclave here. This sacred place is also renowned as Jaytribhuvan Tirth. The idol of Bhagwan Parshvanatha radiates splendor, captivation, delight, and is known for its miraculous presence. Devotees, both Jains and non-Jains, journey from distant locations to offer their prayers here, believing that their heartfelt wishes will be granted. The temple precincts also house idols of Kalikund Parshvanath, Guru Gautam Swami, Padmavatidevi, Manibhadraveer, and others.

In terms of other temples, there are no additional ones on the premises.

The grand and magnificent octagonal temple has been adorned with intricate and captivating designs, showcasing the exceptional artistic skills of the craftsmen. The walls and pillars of the temple are embellished with ancient artistry, featuring beautiful and spectacular paintings. The idol itself has been exquisitely carved from a single stone, presenting a serene and calming countenance on the smiling face of Bhagwan Manmohan Parshwanath. The temple is enveloped by the serene beauty of its natural surroundings, with lush greenery that enchants and captivates pilgrims. The tranquil village ambiance creates a perfect setting for religious activities.
