Parshvanath. Many miracles happen here many times. There is a slab of stone in the center
of the river near the tirth. It is called Sddhashila. Muni Varadatt practised penance on
it and attained the final liberation. A fair is held here every year from the eleventh day
to the fifteenth day of the bright half of the month of Magasar.
Other Temples: Besides this, there are 35 temples on the hill and there are fifteen
temples at the foot of the hill. As in Pavapuri, one temple is in the midst of water. It
is called Jalmandir.
Works of art and Sculpture: Found from the ground, these idols of the twelfth
century are handsome. The idols of Munindradatt, Indradatt Vardatt, Gundatt and
