We add the name of a place before “Parshwanath Bhagwan” (like Shankheshwar Parshwanath, Nakoda Parshwanath, Navsari Parshwanath, etc.) mainly for these reasons:

1. To identify the specific idol / tirth

- Bhagwan Parshwanath is one – the 23rd Tirthankar. - But there are thousands of temples and idols of Parshwanath. - By adding the place name, we know which pratima or tirth we are talking about, e.g. - “Navsari Parshwanath” – the mulnayak of Navsari tirth - “Nageshwar Parshwanath” – the famous tirth with the huge kausagg idol

1. Connection with the history & miracles of that place

- Many Parshwanath idols are linked with special incidents (uday, prabhav, chamatkar, protection in danger, fulfilment of vows, etc.). - Because of those events, that particular idol became very beloved and famous. - So devotees naturally say the place name plus Parshwanath to remember that whole history and express their faith in that tirth’s prabhav.

1. Vyavahaar (practical) way, not different Bhagwan

- In tattva, there is only one Siddha state of Bhagwan Parshwanath – completely liberated, beyond name–form–place. - In vyavahaar (worldly usage), we differentiate: “I am going to Shankheshwar Parshwanath”, “Today is pratishtha of Bhateva Parshwanath” - This does not mean different Tirthankars; it only points to different pratimas / tirth kshetras of the same Parshwanath Bhagwan.

1. Helps in bhav and smaran

- When you say “Navsari Parshwanath” or “Manoranjan Parshwanath” your mind at once remembers: - The idol’s form - The temple - The stories you have heard - This deepens shraddha, bhakti, and smaran of Bhagwan, which is the main purpose of puja.

So, we add the place name to point to a particular historical and prabhavshali pratima of the one and same Parshwanath Bhagwan, not because there are many different Parshwanaths in tattva.
