Shri
Pindvada Tirth
Mulnayak:
White-colored idol of Bhagawan Mahavir Swami in the Padmasana posture.
How to Reach: It is in the Pindvada village. Sirohi road, the nearest
railway station is at a distance of only one kilometer. Buses and private vehicles are
available. In front of the station, there is a Dharmashala in the village. There are good
boarding facilities.
Historicity: There is a mention that the ancient name of this tirth was
Pindarvatak. The inscription on the wall states that this temple was renovated by
Kunvarpal, the father of Dharana Shah, the renovator of the Ranakpur temple and
Kumarpals advisor Limba on the first day of the bright half of the month of Fagan in
the year 1465 of the Vikram era. On an idol in this temple, He is an inscription of the
year 1229 on the Vikram era. It is, therefore, believed that this temple belongs to a
period of time earlier than the twelfth century of the Vikram era. These are extraordinary
artistic ancient metal idols from Vasantgadh. On one of the idols, there is a carved
inscription of the year 744 of the Vikram era. A flag is hoisted every year on the sixth
day of the bright half of the month of Vaishakh. There are four other temples at present.
The structure of the temple is very beautiful. The artistry of ancient metal idols of the
Gupta Age is matchless and delightful. The two splendid metal idols in the Kayotsarga
posture in the basement of the temple are beautiful beyond description Devotees and
pilgrims should not miss to see these idols.
