The history of Ahmedabad traces back to a time before the 10th century when it was known by various names such as "Ashavala" and "Ashapalli." At that point, the city boasted a significant Jain population, which led to the existence of many splendid Jain temples constructed from marble. However, in the 11th century, the city was renamed "Karnavati" during the reign of King Karndev and came to be popularly known as "Jainpuri Rajnagari." Ahmedabad has been a significant center for Chaturmas, attracting numerous renowned Acharyas, Sadhus, and Sadhvis. Over time, many temples in this city have aged more than a century and have consequently acquired a status as pilgrimage sites.
The striking, delightful, and captivating idol of Shri Sukh Sagar Parshvanath, adorned with a metal Parrikar, dates back to the 15th century and is housed within the temple of Shri Simandar Swami. Devotees who worship this idol experience a profound sense of joy and happiness, leading to its name, "Sukh Sagar Parshvanath," where "Sukh Sagar" translates to the "Ocean of Happiness."
