Historicity: Earlier centuries ago, the splendid idol of Bhagwan Sfurling Parshvanath was installed in a temple in Nepal. In course of time, the temple was forgotten Once while His Holiness Acharya Subodhsagarsurisvarji was sitting in meditation, he got a hint to set up a tirth of Bhagawan Sfurling Parshvanath and this new temple was built. To the right of the idol of Bhagawan Sfurling Parshvanath, the idol of Bhagawan Visahar Parshvanath is installed and to the left of it, the idol of Mantradhiraj Bhagawan Parshvanath is built. The great occasion of installation of the idol in this temple was celebrated in the presence of millions of Jains on Friday on the third day of dark half the month of Vaishakh in the year 2037 of the Vikram Smvat i.e. 22-5-1981. The idol of Ghantakarna Mahavir and  Manibhadraswami are also there.  There are temples of Padmavatidevi, Saraswatidevi, Ambikadevi, Chakreshvaridevi, Mahalaxmidevi and the guardian god Ghantakarna Vir. There is also the Samadhi temple of His Holiness Acharya Buddhisagarsurisvarji. This Vijapur tirth is the place of birth, activities and death of Buddhisagarsurisvarji. This is, therefore, a tirth of multifold holiness.
