Jain Tirth - Bh. Parshwanath

Main Idol : This temple of Vighanhara Parshwnatha Bhagwan has a tall 103 centimeters high white-coloured idol Padmasana posture, located at Mota Posina Village about 40 Kilometers away from Khedbrahma Railway Station. 

Location : This sacred place is at an interior distance of 12 Kilometers from the temple on this side of the temple of Kumbhariya on the Chief Road in Khedbrahma Taluk. Bus service and private vehicles are available. At a distance of 8 kilometers from this place there is a beautiful hill. By crossing it, one can go to Rajasthan. There are an Upashraya and board and lodging provisions.

History : The temple is said to have been built in the 13th century and the idol  installed here was recovered on unearthing under a tree. It appears to belong to very ancient period. At an auspicious hour the installation ceremony was performed but a calamity happened. Suddenly, the place took fire. Instead of destruction of the splendid new temple, a miracle happened. The fire that had suddenly flamed, got extinguished without doing any harm. The name ‘Vighnapakar Parshvanath’ came out from the mouths of people who were astonished to see this. Another name for Vighnapahar Parshvanath is Vighnahara Parshvanath. This beautiful temple was installed by His Holiness. Acharyadev Somasundarsurishvarji.
