About The Place: This is regarded to be a sacred place of the times of Bhagawan Adishvar and peak of Mt. Shatrunjaya. This hilly land is also known as Hastisengiri. This sacred place was established by Bhagawan Adishvar’s son Bharat Chakravati. Even today there are foot-idols of bhagawan in a small temple on the very ancient hill. Bharat Chakravati, the eldest son of Bhagwan Adishvar, attained salvation here under instructions of the Acharya Vijayramachandrasurisavarji Maharaj Saheb and Mahatungasurisvarji Maharaj Saheb, this splendid, four - mouthed, octagonal Jain temple with 72 devkulikas, with three hill - forts and a lecture - hall, was set up here. Today, this temple is taller even than the tallest Jain temple of Taranga. It was formally installed on the sixth day of the bright half of the Vikram era. Late Shri Kantibhai Manibhai of Bombay, an original native of Patan devoutly took hard pains for building this temple.
