History
At Teerth Kshetra Hastinapur, there is one huge temple constructed on a 40 feet high hillock. This temple is very beautiful, magnificent and artistic having artistic & huge spire. A room is constructed in the spire and on the top of room an artistic spire is again constructed. Such designed spires are rare in the world. The temple is constructed on a four feet high platform, this has only one part, we may say it sanctum, it is big enough, there is only one altar with three gates, altar is also big in size. In this altar white colored idol of principal deity Bhagwan Shantinath in Padmasana posture, 1½ foot in height is installed. This idol was reverenced in V.S. 1548 by Bhattaraka Jin Chandra for Jeevraj Papariwal. In the both sides of principal deity attractive idols of Bhagwan Kunthunath in left & Bhagwan Arahnath in right are installed. In this altar, an antique piece of art on a flat stone is worth being seen, on which idols of ‘Panch Bal Yati (Celibate) Bhagwan’ (Bhagwan Vasupoojya, Mallinath, Neminath, Parshvanath & Mahaveer) are carved in an artistic manner. It is supposed that this piece of art was created in 10-11th century. Telephone: 01233-280133 Email: [email protected] Website – www.jainbaramandirhtr.com
