Shri Balsana Tirth

This tirth is very ancient. The idol was found by a farmer while ploughing his field. This 77 inches idol was kept in the farmers house at village Balsana, in Dhulia. Param Pujya Acharya Shrimad Vijay Vidyanand Surishwarji, who was then a Muni and was in the vicinity of Dhulia heard about this. He went to Balsana and visited the farmer. Param Pujya Shri convinced the farmer to hand over the Pratima to Jains, so that proper care and puja according to Jain Rituals could be performed. The farmer agreed. Param Pujya Shri Vidyanandji Maharaj Saheb then called a meeting of many Jain Sanghs. After careful deliberations and upon suggestions of all Jain Sanghs present, he decided and declared that Shri Shitalnath Bhagwan Sanstha, Dhulia will own, build and manage temple of Shri Vimalnath Bhagwan, at Balsana. This temple is owned, built, developed, managed and governed by Dhulia Sangh till today.
