Bhagawan
Muhari Parshvanath
Mulnayak: Nearly
84 cms. high, white-colored idol of Bhagawan Muhari Parshvanath in the Padmasana posture.
How
to reach: It is
in the center of the village of Tintoi which
is near Shamalaji station on the Ahmedabad-Udaipur railway line. This sacred place is at a
distance of 45 miles from the sacred place of Keshariya and very near to the sacred place
of Nani Posina. Bus service and service of private vehicles are available. There are
boarding and facilities.
Historicity: A legend goes that nobody could visit it without paying the
tax of one gold coin (muhar) to the village
chief. People, therefore, called the idol by the name, Muhari Parshvanath. A few years
ago, a monk saw in a dream that this idol was buried under a ruined house on the Shamalaji
hill. According to the dream, the Sangha of the four village of Tintoi. Dadhaliya, Modasa
and Sarodi, met together, went to the idol, put it in a bullock-cart. Since the
bullock-cart stopped at Tintoi village, a splendid temple was built there and it was
formally installed on the fifth day of the bright half of the month of Vaishakh in the
year 1828 of the Vikram era. The mention of Muhra Parshvanath in the Jagachintamani
Chaitayavandan Sutra, is a reliable proof of
the antiquity of this temple.
