Shri Badnavar Tirth

It is believed that nearly 2250 years ago, this idol was installed by King Samprati, the grandson of Emperor Ashok. There were many temples here and this was a large city of jains. This temple was renovated many times. This tirth is very miraculous and the idol is not broken though the temple suffered many strokes. The last renovation of this temple was accomplished by the Sangha at the hands of Shri Motivijayji in the year 1984 of the vikram era. The devotees always see three forms of God - childhood, youth and old age. Many non-Jains also come here to bow their head to God. On the first day of the bright half of the month of Bhadrapad every year, after the reading of God’s birth, small lamps are waved before the idol by way of worship. At that time, water-drops are seen on the walls of the cellar only on that particular day.
