Shri
Aur Tirth
Mulnayak: 80 cms
high-white colored idol of Bhagawan Adinath in the Padmasana posture
How to reach: It is in the
center of the Aur village on the river bank. The nearest railway station of Abu Road is at
a distance of 6 kilometers. Bus service and private vehicles are available. It is
comfortable to put up at a dharamshala in Abu and go up and down from there.
Historicity: It is known that its ancient name was Aud. There are
inscriptions of the year 1141 on the parikar of the idol of Ambikadevi and of the year
1242 of the Vikram era on other idols in the Kayotsarga posture on the pendal in the
temple. It is believed that the installation of the idol of Bhagawan Adishvar at the time
of renovation of the temple in the fifteenth century was posterior to the inscription of
Bhagawan Mahavir Swami. This idol is very ancient. A flag is hoisted every year on the
first day of the bright half of the month of Fagan.
