    108 PARSHNATH TEMPLES SITUATED IN INDIA

    10 months ago 113

    Jain Dharma gives great importance to the 108 prominent Parshwanath idols (Parshva Bhagwan) as voyagers of devotion, especially in Śvetāmbara traditions. These are not necessarily a single official list; many tirths are counted as one of the 108 due to historical venerations, regional names, and different temple lineages. Here are some well-known Parshwanath tirths in India often counted among the 108, with a quick note on their tradition:

    • Jirawala Parshwanath (Sirohi district, Rajasthan) — famous 108 Parshvanath idol cluster in the same tirth; a central Śvetāmbara site. ( en.wikipedia.org)
    • Kalikund Parshwanath (Santacruz, Mumbai, Maharashtra) — multiple tirths in Mumbai share Parshwanath idols; Kalikund is a noted Swetambar site. ( en.wikipedia.org)
    • Navsari Parshwanath (Navsari, Gujarat) — noted Śvetāmbara tirth with Parshwanath references; part of the Navsari circuit of Parshwanath worship. ( jainknowledge.com)
    • Shankhla Parshwanath (Bechraji region, near Patan, Gujarat) — celebrated temple with Parshwanath idol, associated with Shwetambar traditions. ( jainknowledge.com)
    • Dhingadmal Parshwanath (Jogiwada, Patan, Gujarat) — ancient, well-known Parshwanath temple; Śvetāmbara tradition. ( jainknowledge.com)
    • Bhabha Parshwanath (Jamnagar area, Gujarat) — noted Śvetāmbara tirth with Parshwanath mulnayak. ( jainknowledge.com)
    • Som Chintamani Parshwanath (Sanghvi ki Pole, Khambhat, Gujarat) — popular temple; Śvetāmbara tradition; also connected to other Parshwanath sites. ( jainknowledge.com)
    • Navgaon/Dhingadmal variants and other Parshwanath sites in Patan, Patan region, and nearby Gujarat towns are frequently listed among the 108 in Śvetāmbara narratives. ( jainknowledge.com)
    • Ajahara Parshwanath (Una/Junagadh region, Gujarat) — mentioned in Śvetāmbara lore as one of the local Parshwanath tirths. ( jainknowledge.com)

    Important notes:

    • The 108 Parshwanath idols are traditionally associated with Śvetāmbara Jain tirtha-practice; Digambara texts may name different local tirthas or emphasize different aspects.
    • Names and exact counts can vary by temple trust, local prabandhas (chronicles), and regional calendars. Some temples are known by village names (e.g., Shankhla, Dhingadmal) but are counted as Parshwanath tirths within the 108 in common Śvetāmbara listings.

    If you want, I can give short details for any specific temple among these, or help you locate a particular tirth from the 108 in a region you’re interested in.
