    junabeda tirth - dada parshwanathi tirth history

    9 months ago 63

    Here is the Jain history of the well-known Parshwanath tirth in the Junagadh region:

    • Chorwadi Parshwanath (Chorvad/Chorwadi Parshwanath) Tirth is in Chorvad village, Veraval area, in Junagadh district, Saurashtra. The mulnayak is Bhagwan Chorvadi Parshwanath (a form of Parshwanath), usually described as having a smiling face and a Padmasana posture. This tirth is closely linked with the ancient village of Chorvad and is one of the historic Parshwanath shrines in the region. The temple complex and idol are described as very old, with the present temple built by Jain sangh in Vikram Samvat VS 1529 (roughly 1472–1473 CE). An old inscription on the idol and other ancient markings indicate great antiquity and long-standing worship at this site. It is noted as the principal shrine of the Ajahara/Chorwadi Parshwanath tradition in this part of Saurashtra. You can read more in the Jain narratives that document its age, inscriptions, and local legends.
    • Key historical points often mentioned in Jain sources:
    - The idol is described as ancient and significant, with references to inscriptions dating to Vikram Samvat centuries ago, and to ceremonial installations by respected Jain figures in the lineage. - The site is repeatedly listed among the important Parshwanath teerths in the Saurashtra (Kathiawar) region, with ties to local Jain communities (Sangh) that maintain the tirth. - The Chorwadi tirth is sometimes called Chorvadi Parshwanath or Chintamani Parshwanath, reflecting local naming variations. Its temple is described as old, with the current structure dating from centuries past and ongoing rituals performed by the local Jain sangh.
    • Dada Parshwanath Tirth in Junagadh: It seems there is also mention of “Dada Parshwanath” shrines in other parts of India (for example, Dada Parshwanath temples in Rajasthan) but these are separate from Chorwadi Parshwanath in Junagadh district. If you are referring to a specific Dada Parshwanath temple in the Junagadh area, please share a bit more detail and I can clarify its history and relation to Chorwadi.
