Shri Vahi Tirth

Mulnayak

Nearly 58 cm. high, black-colored idol of Bhagawan Vahi Parshvanath in the Padmansana posture.

Tirth

It is in the Vahi village.

Historicity

This seems to be a very prosperous city of the ancient times. This temple was built by King Samprati. This idol is distinct, ancient and very impressive. In this beautiful temple, there is a cellar, too. Since this tirth is in Vahinagar, the idol is called Vahi Parshvanath. This land is sanctified by foot-steps of many Rev sadhus. Once a pilgrim sees this idol, an earnest spiritual desire to see it again rises in his heart.

Other Temples

There are no other temples here.

Works of art and Sculpture

The idol looks beautiful with seven hoods in this splendid pinnacled temple. The strange figure of tiger under the idol in a cross-legged posture is astonishing. In the morning the idol of God looks like that of a child. At noon, it looks like that of a youth. In the evening, it looks like that of an old man. Many ancient stories of this fascinating tirth prove its antiquity.
