Shri
Ner Tirth

Mulnayak: Nearly 50 cms
high, black-coloured idol of Bhagawan Manovanchhit Parshvanath in the Padmasana posture.
Tirth: It is in the Ner
village. The nearest railway station of Dhulia is at a distance of 27 kilometers from here
and at a distance of 200 kilometers from Surat. Bus service and private vehicles are
available. A dharmashala, a bhojanshala and an upashraya are there.
Historicity: History says
that the idol of Manovanchhit Parshvanath of the city of Ner was brought here from
Burhanpur. Even without a coating, this delicate and well-shaped idol which is more than
500 years old, looks very new and inspires love. This idol of Manovanchhit Parshvanath
destroys unfulfilled desires, discontentedness and gfhittonous tendency of people and
justifies its name. It is an ornament of the city of Ner. When the original temple became
old, it was reinstalled by the sangha under the auspices of His Holiness Panyasapravar
Surendravijayji on the tenth day of the bright half of the month of Vaishakh in the year
1988 of the vikram era. This ancient tirth is also mentioned in the 908 Parshvanath
Chhand. This tirth is a gateway to Maharashtra and thereafter it is sanctified by
mahy great-Sadhus. A fair of non-jains is held on the eleventh day of the bright half of
the month of Fagan.
