| About Navagarh :
|
Shri Neminath Digamber Jain Atishaya Kshetra, Navagarh is famous for ancient
miraculous and artistic idol of Bhagwan Neminath. This place was situated in
Ukhlad village, which is about 2 km from its present location at the bank of
river Purna. Temple was built up of stone but due to repeated floods the temple
was destroyed. Even though idols remained safe.
In year 1931, magnificent huge temple having spire was constructed in campus
area of Navagarh and these idols were installed in this temple. 10 acres of land
was allotted immediately by Nizam government for this temple.
Atishaya: - It is said that ‘Paras Mani’ is studded in great toe of principal
deity Bhagwan Neminath’s idol. Once an aged priest got a message through a dream
that he could lead his life happily by touching an iron needle with Paras Mani
and turning it into gold needle. He was also instructed that he should not
repeat this again and should not disclose this secret to anybody. After some
time, priest realized that he is at the verge of life. So he disclosed the
secret to his son and also warned him of misusing and disclosing secret.
Later on priest died and his son continued with the same. After some time
priest’s son because of his greedy nature began to misuse Paras Mani and start
leading luxurious life. On seeing this people complained to District officer.
District officer along with some troop came to take up this Paras Mani. As soon
as he reached on to the gate of temple the toe of the idol exploded and Paras
Mani fell into the river Purna.
District officer then made the elephants with iron chains tied on their feet to
got down into the river. When these elephants came out, it was found that some
of the links of the one of the elephant’s chain has converted into gold. But
even after several efforts Paras Mani could not be found.
The toe of the idol damaged because of separation of Paras Mani from it. |
