Sri Dharmachakra Prabhav Tirth Mandir

A lovely Jain temple called Sri Dharmachakra Prabhav Tirth Mandir can be found near the town of Viholi. It is on the road that connects Nashik to Mumbai. Many people come to Nashik to pray at this site, which is also one of the best places to visit for tourists.

Before the temple, there is the "magnanimous Yantra of the Sri Mantradhiraj Stotra" whose design is lovely. Painters inscribed it with images and had statues of significant gods and goddesses around it. The temple possesses a big Dharamsala containing 100 rooms, yet Jain individuals only get to utilize it. The establishment also contains a Bhojanshala and offers inexpensive, nutritious Jain food.

History of Dharmachakra Prabhav Tirth Mandir

Acharya Sri Jag Vallabh Surishwaraji Maharaj Saheb gave the holy order to build Sri Dharmachakra Prabhav Tirth. People often call this brand-new temple "Jain Mandir." This is a three-story building with a completely different and modern style of construction than other Jain temples. The builders used stones made of pink sand and white marble to construct the temple, making it look and feel beautiful.

The three-story temple has Choumukhji on the first floor, Ashtapadji on the third, and Pravachan Hall on the ground floor. The Pravachan Hall is where meditations and talks happen. As the name suggests, Sri Mantradhiraj Parshwanath Bhagwan is the statue that stands on top of the building. Explore this temple with Nashik tour packages for a spiritually enriching experience.

There are statues of Jain saints all over the temple. The 24th Jain Tirthankar statue, which is made of Panchdhatu and weighs about 12 tons, is the most important of them all. The temple also has lovely copies of the Sri Shatrunjay Tirth and the Sri Sametshikarji Tirth.
