Mulnayak: Nearly 58 cms. high, black-colored idol of Bhagawan Vahi Parshvanath in the Padmansana posture.

How to reach:
It is in the Vahi village. This tirth is at a distance of 5 kilometers from the Pipaliya Mandi station and 16 kilometers from Mandasor. Bus service and private vehicles are available. In the village there are two dharmashalas, a bhojanshala and an upashraya.
Historicity: This seems to be a very prosperous city of the ancient times. This temple was built by King Samprati. This idol is distinct, ancient and very impressive. In this beautiful temple, there is a cellar, too. Since this tirth is in Vahinagar, the idol is called Vahi Parshvanath. This land is sanctified by foot-steps of many Rev ascetics. Once a pilgrim sees this idol, an earnest spiritual desire to see it again rises in his heart. The idol looks beautiful with seven hoods in this splendid pinnacled temple. The strange figure of tiger under the idol in a cross-legged posture is astonishing. In the morning the idol of God looks like that of a child. At noon, it looks like that of a youth. In the evening, it looks like that of an old man. Many ancient stories of this fascinating tirth prove its antiquity.
