Mulnayak:
Nearly 364 cms. high, black-colored idol of Bhagawan Shantinath in the
Kayotsarga posture.
Tirth:
It is in the Bhopar village on the bank of the river Mahi.
Historicity:
The ancient name of this village was Bhojkut Nagar. It is believed that
the very ancient idol of Bhagawan Shantinath belongs to the times of
Bhagawan Neminath. This tirth was renovated many times. It is believed
that the old temple lies buried in the hollow of the ground, in the
compound of this temple. Bhils of this region come with faith and devotion
to sing the songs of God. Bhagawan Shantinath is known as ‘Kala Baba’
or ‘Bamanadev’. Various miracles happen in this tirth. On one
occasion, the nectar continuously oozed out of God’s idol and looked
like saffron-coloured milk at the feet of God. Many fortunate devotees
took the benefit of this splendid and holy sight.
Other
Temples:
Besides this, there are no other temples.
Works
of art and Sculpture:
The work of glass and of enamel-painting is very beautiful and artistic.
The skilled artistics have no place in the temple which is not adorned by
artistry. This is really noteworthy and worth seeing.
