Mulnayak: Nearly 15 cms long, white-colored foot-idol of
Bhagawan Mahavir Swami.
Tirth: It
is near the Barakar village on the bank of the river Barakar.
Historicity: The present day Barker river was the Rujubaluka river of the ancient
times. It is believed that this great tirth was Rujuvaluka. On the farm of the farmer
Shyamak on the bank of this river under a shali tree at an auspicious time of Vijay
Muhurta on the tenth day of the bright half of the month of Vaishakh Bhagawan Mahavir
attained omniscience. Thus, this is a very sacred and holy place of Bhagawan Mahavir
Swami’s attainment of Omniscience. Rev sadhus of the sixteenth, the seventeenth, and
the eighteenth centuries described this tirth in their tirthmalas. Every particle of this
place is purified and sanctified by twelve years long severe penance and attainment of
omniscience of Bhagawan Mahavir Swami, the twenty- fourth Tirthankara. The grandeur of
this place is matchless and beyond description.
Other Temples: At present, there are no other temples.
Works of art and Sculpture: The scene of this temple on riverbank is extremely
splendid and thrilling. The style of construction of this temple is distinct and
wonderful. An ancient idol of Bhagawan Mahavir was found from this river. Its artistry is
an excellent specimen of antiquity. It is installed in this temple.
