Shri Adinath Jain Shwetamber Mandir, Wadhwan, Surendranagar (Gujarat)

Shwetamber Jain Temple in Wadhwan, Surendranagar आदिनाथ प्रभु का पांच गभारा वाला सम्प्रति महाराज के समय का अति प्राचीन देराशर है। बाजुमें शान्तिनाथ प्रभु का जैन मंदिर है। The name "Wadhwan" is said to derive from "Vardhmānpur", after Vardhamana, also known as Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankar of Jainism. According to legend, the site of Wadhwan was originally a place called "Astigram", or "the village of bones", due to the predations of a man-eating yaksha named Shulpani, who lived in a cave on the bank of the Bhogavo river half a mile east of the present town. However, Mahavira visited the town and converted Shulpani, and the relieved inhabitants renamed the town Vardhmanpur in his honour. A temple dedicated to Mahavira now stands on the site said to have been Shulpani's home.
