The birthplace of 108 Muni Shri

Ishurvara is situated in the mid

got constructed by famous Shreshthi (Businessman) ‘Panashah’ in V.S. 1662 on one
hill of this Kshetra near to this village. This spired Jinalaya is so tall that
one can see it rising to the sky. The 9 feet high Khadgasana idols of
Teerthankar Bhagwan ‘Shantinath’, Bhagwan ‘Arahnath’ & Bhagwan ‘Kunthunath’ are
installed in this temple. They were Chakrawarti & Kamdeo also.
Various
events of miracles do happen here. In September 1999 there was fall of
lightening on the sanctum of temple & the current flowed across all objects but
this flow of current did not affected the two Shravakas (devotees), who were
offering prayers in the sanctum at that time & moreover the sanctum was also not
affected. During October 1999 also there was lightening on Jinalaya but not even
single devotee who was present there & even the Jinalaya was also not affected
because of the miracle. |
