Siddha Kshetra Drongiri is an ancient Nirvan Kshetra (Place of Salvation) which
is proved by ancient literature, ancient cave, ancient Jain temples & art of
sculpture. Drongiri is described as Nirvan Kshetra of Shri Gurudatta & others so
many ascetic saints, by Shri Pujyapad Swamy in Nirvan Bhakti, by Acharya
Harishen in Brihat Katha Kosh and in Nirvan Kand. Pujya Shri Ganesh Prasadji
Varni has called this place as Laghu Sammed Shikhar due to its
peaceful natural beauty, clean & healthy environment appropriate for practice of
austerity & for self development to achieve supernatural qualities and
salvation.
The large ancient cave, from which Shri Gurudatta & others achieved Moksha
(Salvation), was opted for meditation and penance by Charitra Chakravarti
Acharya Shri Shanti Sagarji Maharaj in the year V. S. 1929 when he came here. In
that night the lion came to his residence (the cave), while he saw the ascetic
saint in meditation, he stayed there calmly without harming the Acharya and went
to the jungle in the next morning. The event is described in the book Charitra
Chakravarti.
In the story of Gurudatta & other saints, the cave is said to be residence of
lions. (Aradhana Katha Kosh)
On the hill, third temple is Shri Parsvanath temple with principal deity Lord
Parsvanath, this idol in cross legged seating posture made of Black Stone very
attractive and miraculous. Various desires of pilgrims come true here.
