Shri Vardhman Agam Tirth - Maharashtra

A new temple complex has been recently established at Katraj on the Pune Satara Highway. The temple oversees the city of Pune from a hillock, giving a magnificent view of the entire town. The main temple has a large dazzling idol in golden shade of Shri Mahavir Swami in Padmasan posture, made of Panch-Dhatu. It is 12 feet tall and weighs about 5000 Kg. Another temple behind the main temple is built within the same complex and the idol of Shri Parshwanath Bhagwan is installed there. This idol is also made in Panch-dhatu and is 8 feet tall and weighs 3000 Kg. There are several other idols located in the temple in different positions, all made of Panch-dhatu and equally bright and dazzling. The main temple installation was carried out on Margshish Shukla 15 in the year 1995 and the remaining construction is in full showing. The complex provides facilities of boarding lodging and medical aid, guest house and prayer halls. Being close from the town, a large numbers of devotees and pilgrims have been coming for worship every day. The project has been financed By Shri Vardhman Jain Agam Tirth Trust through donations received from various temple trusts, Pedhi, Jain institutions and individuals.
