The ancient Jain temple at Sankhatra, located in present-day Pakistan, was dedicated to Lord Parshvanatha, the 23rd Tirthankara. While the exact year of establishment is not clearly documented in Jain historical records, many Jain temples in the region were constructed between the 10th and 15th centuries CE during periods of Jain influence in Punjab and Sindh. However, without specific Jain texts referencing the precise date for the Sankhatra temple, only the dedication to Lord Parshvanatha can be confidently stated.
