Very huge and spiritual temple. Old but the importance of this temple in jain religion is very high. Parking facility is there. Bhojanshala serves good quality and hygienic food with reasonable price. Dharamshalas are there too. We had a good experience there.

Most Favourite place for all Jain People Love the Vibe and Religious Attachment

Experience it to the fullest. One of the most spiritual Jain centre still goes with century old tradition of not using electricity for illumination still uses the magnificent lamps that light temple which is magical. The temple opens at 5 in the morning and vaskep Pooja starts which is by far the easiest way to get spiritual and connect to god. History Of Temple In the year 1155 VE (1098 CE), Sajjan Shah built the Shankheshwar Parshwanath Jain Temple temple on the banks of the Rupen river. In Vikram Samvat 1286 (1229 CE), Vastupal Tejpal renovated this temple under the instructions of Vardhamansuri. There were 52 idols in the temple. In VS 1302, the king[who?], awed by the idol and inspired by Uktasuri, renovated the temple substantially. In the fourteenth century VS, the temple was destroyed by Alauddin Khalji. In the sixteenth century VS, under the inspiration of Vijaysensuri, a new temple with 52 idols was built. In VS 1760 (1703 CE), the sangha built the new temple and got the idol reinstalled. Besides the original sanctuary, the temple has an open square, a decorated square, a vast square and two assembly halls.[4] The idol of Bhidbhanjan Parshvanath is in a small temple to the right of the main idol, and the idol of Ajitnatha is in a small temple to the left of the main idol. The idols of Dharanendra, Padmavati, Parshva and Chakreshwari are also in the temple. On the tenth day of the month of Posh, the tenth day of the dark half of the month of Magasar, and during the Diwali days, thousand of pilgrims come to observe a two-day-long fast. At present, the temple complex is under renovation. The doors of the small temples on the passage for going round the temple are being enlarged, and the height of their summits will be raised. The current temple was built in 1811.[5] vrss 1155 VE (1098 siii) maaN, sjjn shaahe ruupen ndiinaa kaaNtthe shNkheshvr paarshvnaath jain mNdir mNdir bnaavyauN. vikrm sNvt 1286 (1229 siii) maaN, vaastupaal tejpaale vrdhmaansuriinii suucnaathii aa mNdirno jiirnnoddhaar kryao. mNdirmaaN 52 muurtio htii. vii.es. 1302 maaN, muurtithii utsaahit ane uktaasuriithii prerit raajaae [konn?], mNdirno nviniikrnn kryauN. caudmii sdiinaa vii.es. maaN, mNdir alaauddiin khljii dvaaraa naash kraayauN htuN. sollmii sdiinaa vii.es. maaN, vijyasensuriinii prernnaathii, 52 muurtio saathe ek nvuN mNdir bnaavvaamaaN aavyauN htuN. vii.es. 1760 (1703 siii) maaN, sNghe nvuN mNdir bnaavyauN ane muurti phriithii sthaapit krii. muull abhyaaarnnya upraaNt, mNdirmaaN khullo cors, shnngaarelo cors, vishaall cors ane be vidhaansbhaa hol che.
