| About
Panagar :
|
Panagar is an old city lying on Jabalpur-Katni way, once it had been a
prosperous city. Even today plenty of broken fragments of beautiful Jain temples
& idols of Kalchuri Art & sculpture are found in this region.
Panagar is also famous for magnificent standing idol of Bhagwan Shantinath that
belongs to 10-11 century. The sign of idol can not be seen because the lower
part (portion below feet) of idol is embedded inside the earth.
The ‘Throne (sitting place) of Jati Baba’, which is around 500 years ancient, is
also present here. It is also believed that a tunnel was there to reach Sonagiri
from Panagar. That is invisible in present.
This idol of Bhagwan Shantinath was found 3 km away from here by digging the
earth near ‘Pond Baleha’. A miraculous & attractive 5 feet high idol of Bhagwan
Parshvanath in Padmasana posture is also present here. |
