AMIZARA PARSHWANATH GIRNAR
“Amizara (or Amijhara) Parshwanath” is a special and very popular roop of Bhagwan Parshwanath.
- Why the name “Amizara / Amijhara”?
In Gujarati, “Ami” means amrit‑jal (divine nectar). At the original tirth in Gandhar (Gujarat), pavitra ras / ami was once seen oozing from the murti of Parshwanath Bhagwan, so he became famous there as
Amijhara / Amizara Parshwanath.
Girnar is a very great Jain tirth in Gujarat, mainly famous as
Neminath Bhagwan’s moksha‑bhumi, but there are also many
Parshwanath roop remembered and worshipped connected to Girnar in Jain tradition.
Among the many temples and derasars across India dedicated to Parshwanath,
Amijhara / Amizara Parshwanath is also remembered and installed in different places, and Girnar is one of the tirths mentioned in that list of temples where this naam and bhav of Parshwanath is worshipped.
So, when you say “Amizara Parshwanath Girnar”, you are referring to:
- Bhagwan Parshwanath in his Amijhara / Amizara naam‑roop,
- and his connection/installation and स्मरण at the great Jain tirth of Girnar.
