Dhamasha Ni Nell, Aarvalli Pahadi of dhanendra pashwanath
“Dhamasha Ni Nell, Aarvalli Pahadi” is the location of a famous Jain tirth of Dharnendra–Parshwanath Bhagwan (often written Dharnendra Parshwanath).
Very simple details:
- Tirth name: Dharnendra Parshwanath Bhagwan
- Place: Dhamasha ni Nell, Aravalli Pahadi (in Gujarat region)
- Main murti: Parshwanath Bhagwan (23rd Tirthankar), usually shown with
- serpent-hoods of
Dev Dharnendra over His head, and
-
Devi Padmavati associated as shasan-devata.
- Connected with the well‑known story where Parshwanath saves a pair of snakes from a fire caused by the ascetic Kamath.
- Those snakes later take birth as
Dev Dharnendra and
Devi Padmavati, who protect Parshwanath during his intense meditation when a terrible storm and flood are created by Kamath.
- Because of this protection by Dharnendra, many temples and tirths of Parshwanath with serpent‑hoods are specially revered, and this place is remembered as a
powerful shakti‑sthal for devotees.
