    where are 108 parshwanath located?

    3 months ago 137

    “108 Parshwanath” does not mean that all 108 idols are in one single place.

    There are two different usages:

    ---

    1. The traditional list of 108 Parshwanath Bhagwan

    In Jain tradition, “108 Parshwanath” usually refers to 108 different pratimas (idols) / tirths of Bhagwan Parshwanath, each with its own special name and separate location. They are spread mainly across:

    • Gujarat – e.g. Shankheshwar Parshwanath, Bhadreshwar Parshwanath, Kamboi (Manmohan) Parshwanath, etc.
    • Rajasthan – e.g. Jirawala Parshwanath, Varkana Parshwanath, Samina Parshwanath, etc.
    • Madhya Pradesh – e.g. Makshi Parshwanath, Kamitpuran Parshwanath, Avanti Parshwanath (Ujjain), etc.
    • Maharashtra – e.g. Kesariya Parshwanath (Bhadravati), Antariksh Parshwanath (Akola side), Jagvallabh Parshwanath (near Kolhapur), etc.
    • Plus a few in other states of India.

    So, the 108 are a list, not one spot: each number in the list is a separate Jain tirth.

    If you need the full detailed list with city/state for all 108, it is usually found in special “108 Parshwanath Margdarshika” (guide-books) used by yatris; it is quite long to reproduce fully here.

    2. Temples named “108 Parshwanath Jain Mandir / Tirth”

    In some places, a single temple complex is built where 108 small idols of Parshwanath are installed together. For example, you will find names like “108 Parshwanath Jain Mandir” in various cities (often as a local tirth), but these are individual complexes, separate from the classical pan‑India list of 108 famous Parshwanath tirths.

    ---

    Summary:

    • The classical “108 Parshwanath” are 108 different Parshwanath tirths across India, mainly in Gujarat, Rajasthan, MP, and Maharashtra, each with its own name and city.
    • In addition, some modern complexes called “108 Parshwanath Jain Mandir” have 108 idols together in one place, but these are local projects, not the full original 108‑tirth list.

    If you tell me whether you want:

    • the full traditional 108-tirth list (with names), or
    • information about a specific “108 Parshwanath” temple in a city (e.g., Nashik, Bangalore, etc.),

    I can focus on that in detail.
