Shri Ajari Tirth

Mulnayak: Nearly 75 cms
high,white-colored idol of Bhagawan Mahavir Swami in the Padmasana posture
How to reach: It is in the
center of the Ajari village. This temple is at a distance of only five kilometers from the
railway station of Shirohi, twelve kilometers from Brahmanwada and 10 kilometers from the
Nandiya tirtha. Bus service and private vehicles are available. There are provisions for
board and lodging.
Historicity: This is a very ancient Tirth. Delighted with the worship of
Hemchandracharya, Saraswatidevi is made direct appearance in the temple. On some metal
idols, there are inscriptions of the eleventh and the thirteenth centuries. The
workmanship of the idol shows that it is very ancient. All the fifty-two idols of this
temple seem to belong to the times of King Samprati. In the temple, there are also
beautiful idols of some Acharyas, too. Here the idol of Saraswatidevi is very beautiful
and miraculous. This goddess makes idol miracles even today. Jains as well as non-Jains
come here and have their wishes fulfilled. This tirtha belongs to the small Marwad group
of five tirths. This is the birth-place of the great poet Kalidas.
