Is dwarka birth place of neminath bhagwan
In Jain tradition, the birthplace of Bhagwan Neminath is given as:
- City: Shauripur (also written Sauripur / Shouripur)
- Father: Raja Samudravijay
- Mother: Shivadevi
According to Jain tirth descriptions, Shouripur on the bank of river Yamuna is celebrated as his janma‑bhumi (birthplace).
About Dwarka:
- Many stories link Neminath Bhagwan with Dwarka (because of his relation to Krishna and the famous marriage‑procession story).
- Some traditions poetically identify his city Shauripur with the Yadava capital (often called Dwarka).
- But the main Jain tīrth for his actual birthplace is Shouripur (Shauripur) on Yamuna, not the present coastal city of Dwarka in Gujarat.
So, in simple words:
- Scriptural birthplace name: Shauripur / Shouripur
- Modern tirth place: Shouripur (UP, near Yamuna)
- Dwarka is strongly connected to his life, but the officially remembered janma‑kalyanak place in Jain tradition is Shouripur, not present-day Dwarka city.
