    jirawala tirth dham

    8 months ago 165

    Jirawala Tirth (Jirawala Parshwanath) is a very famous Jain Śwetāmbara tirth in Rajasthan.

    Here is simple information:

    • Location:
    Village Jirawala, District Sirohi, Rajasthan. It is near Abu Road.
    • Moolnayak (Main idol):
    Bhagwan Shri Jirawala Parshwanath (Parshvanath Bhagwan, 23rd Tirthankar).
    • Speciality of this tirth:
    - Very ancient and highly prabhavi (powerful) tirth. - Around the main temple there are 108 different idols of Shri Parshwanath Bhagwan, each with a different name and glory. - In many Jain rituals and pratiṣṭhā, Jirawala Parshwanath is remembered in the mantra “Om Hrim Shri Jirawala Parshwanathaya Namah”.
    • Traditional history (saṃpradāyik kathā) – in short:
    - This place was earlier known as Jiravalli / Jirapalli / Jirikavalli etc. - A Jain śrāvak Sheth Amrāsa had a divine dream that the hidden idol of Parshvanath Bhagwan is lying in a cave near the foothill outside the city. - At the same time, Acharya Devsuriji also had a similar dream. - Both went to that place, excavated the spot, and found the idol of Shri Parshwanath Bhagwan. - A beautiful temple was built there and the idol was ceremonially installed (pratiṣṭhā) by Acharya Devsuriji in ancient times (traditional dates are given in Vikram years like 326, 331, etc.). - Over centuries, the temple has been repaired and renovated many times by Jain śrāvaks and Acharyas.
    • Religious importance:
    - Counted among the very important Parshwanath tirths and also among the 108 prabhavi Parshwanath images. - Many Jain Acharyas and saints have visited, stayed, and composed religious works here. - Even today many devotees experience fulfillment of wishes (manovāñchhit siddhi) by doing sincere darshan, pūjā, swādhyāy and prārthanā here.
    • Facilities:
    - Temple complex has derasar, dharamshala and bhojanshala for yatriks (pilgrims).
