Historicity: The Mundava village near the city of Sojat is an ancient
Tirth of Bhagawan Parshvanath. There is a popular talk about the origin of this Tirth. A
Shraveka observed a vow not to take meals before respectfully bowing his head to God. He
went to a Gods temple in a village at a distance of five miles. Influenced by his
vow and fidelity, the presiding deity gave him an indication in dream and ordered him to
find this idol under a particular tree outside the villages. The presiding deity also
instructed him to go to the said place with a basket full of barley grains and leave it
there at night. All the barley grains turned into gold. With the gold he built this
splendid temple.
