Mulnayak: Nearly 107 cms high, black-colored idol of Bhagawan
Parshvanath in the semi-Padmasana posture.
Tirth: It is outside the Shirpur village.
Historicity: The idol in this temple is very ancient. Mali and
Sumali, the servants of Khaldusan, the brother-in-law (sister’s husband) of King
Ravan made this idol of sand and cowing under inspiration of their devotion to God. Then
this remained unseen for years. It again appeared with miracles in the year 1142 of the
Vikram era. On the fifth day of the bright half of the month of Magh in the year 1942 of
the vikram era it was reinstalled in a new temple under the auspices of Acharya
Abhaydevsurishvarji. It was renovated several times. Under instructions of Ganivarya
Bhavavijayji, it was reinstalled on the fifth day of the bright half of the month of
Chaitra in the year 1715 of the vikrak era. This idol is very miraculous. It removes the
diseases and harassment of devotees. At the time of its installation the idol was at
horizontal distance of six fingers from the ground. At present on account of the effect of
the times, miracles are seen only by the faithful fortunate devotees. A fair is held on
the third day of the bright half of the month of Fagan and on then tenth day of the dark
half of the month of Magasar.
