Mulnayak: Nearly 154 cms. high white-colored idol of Bhagawan
Bhakti Parshvanath in the Padmasana posture.
Tirth: It is on the main road of the village Shankheswar.
Historicity: "Wave many flags, wave many flags in
Shankhesvar". This was the last desire of His Holiness Acharya Bhaktisurishvarji
Maharaj Saheb. That is the reason why His Holiness Acharya Premsurishvarjis and
Subodhsurisvarji under auspicious inspiration and auspicious blessings of their guru,
materialised the plan of the 108 Bhaktivihar Parshvanath temple. This splendid idol was
formally installed on the fifth day of the bright half of the month of Magh in the year
2045 of the Vikram era.
Other Temples: Besides, there are the Sankhesvar Parshvanath temple, the Agam temple,
the Padmavatidevi temple and many other idols.
Works of art and Sculpture: Among temples with vast summits, this new and
splendid temple of the 108 Parshvanath Bhaktivahar is really an extraordinary, peaceful
and beautiful temple in India. On a large piece of land of 84 thousand sq. ft., this
splendid temple is 72 ft high. 108 idols bearing 108 names of Bhagawan Parshvanath are
installed in different sanctuaries at the same place. There is an idol of Nakodaji
Parshvanath in the main small temple to the right of the chief idol and there is an idol
of Jirawala Parshvanath in a small temple to the left of the main idol. The idols of
Lakshmidevi, Chakresvaridevi, Padmavatidevi and Acharya Bhaktisurisvarji are installed in
this temple.
