improvement of the temple: |
|
At the back of the temple, the Roopali river flows. On the
North East Bank, there is possibility for creation of green
park. The river can also be beautified and the place can be
declared as one of Tourist attraction. For this, the road
ways of Kota and Jhalawar are also be developed.

Cause
of Establishment:
Mythologically this is believed that Shri Adinath is followed by
an unending series of Teerthankars. Crores of years ago Shri
Adinath born to Mother Maru Devi and father Nangerai. He spent
83 lacks years in Grahasthashram (homely domestic life).
Thereafter i100 years he performed strict penance. As a result,
he attained Kewalya (the only oneness or the perfect isolation)
Gyan. Then he attained Arihant Pad for thousands and thousands
of years and preached his divine message to all Jeevas (souls).
The statues of Lord Adinath and Lord Chandraprabhu are extremely
beautiful from the sculpture point of view. The gates of the
temple are rather small and to enter the shrine one has to sit
and bend his head to find an entry. The statues are in the cave.
These gates are the great specimen of Architecture.
In this temple, there are many underground shrines which are
jutted with gems. On these Chaitlayas (shrines) the idols are
installed. These idols are protected by Gods and they are
venerable. They can be opened to a few for a very limited time
in many years. Some great ascetic or muni alone can take the
visitors to these Chaityas for the darshan of Arihantas.
Recently on 24th March 2002 Muni Shri Sudha Sagarji Maharaj
opened the gates of the underground Chaityas and made convenient
for 15 to 20 lacs faithful visitors to have a darshan of the
gemmed statues for fifteen days.
