A statue of Bhagwan Muleva Parshvanath in white, standing approximately 72 centimeters tall and seated in the Padmasana posture, resides alongside the idol of Shri Adinath Bhagwan. This sacred place can be found on Relief Road in Ahmedabad.
The historical roots of this Muleva Parshvanath idol are estimated to reach back 200-300 years. Seth Kutumb constructed a temple in Idalpur, a suburb of Ahmedabad, several centuries ago, and this idol of Muleva Parshvanath was ceremoniously enshrined in it. Over time, the temple may have deteriorated, and the Muleva Parshvanath idol was relocated to Panjrapole and installed within the Adinath Bhagwan temple. This idol of Muleva Parshvanath is renowned for its influence, allure, and beauty. Devotees who regularly worship this idol often sense its spiritual impact. Many residents of Ahmedabad initiate their daily routines by paying homage in this Muleva Parshvanath temple. There's a belief that a devotee cannot consecutively worship the Muleva Parshvanath idol for six months. The temple's administration falls under the purview of the Seth Hathisingh Kesarisingh Trust. Recently, the temple underwent renovation while ensuring the idols remained undisturbed. This temple is also popularly referred to as the "Moraiya Parshvanath temple."
