According to Jain tradition, after delivering his final teachings, he attained Mahanirvana on Kartik Amavasya (which coincides with Diwali celebrations). His cremation site drew so many devotees seeking sacred ashes that they removed large amounts of soil, creating a deep pit that filled with rainwater to form the <strong>Kamal Sarovar<\/strong> (Lotus Pond). This event transformed the area into a holy site free of sin, hence the name Apapuri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The place became a key pilgrimage center over centuries, revered by both <strong>\u015avet\u0101mbara<\/strong> and <strong>Digambara<\/strong> sects of Jainism. It ranks among the holiest Jain Siddha Kshetras, drawing pilgrims for meditation, reflection on non-violence (Ahimsa), and spiritual liberation. Pawapuri&#8217;s tranquility, away from urban bustle, enhances its aura as a &#8220;city of peace.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Iconic_Jal_Mandir_Water_Temple\"><\/span>The Iconic Jal Mandir (Water Temple)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The centerpiece of Pawapuri is the <strong>Jal Mandir<\/strong>, a stunning white marble temple that appears to float in the middle of Kamal Sarovar, a serene pond often filled with blooming red or pink lotuses and visited by birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Architecture and Access<\/strong>: Reachable via a long, narrow causeway, the temple exemplifies elegant Jain design with intricate carvings and simplicity. The current structure is a later reconstruction\/enhancement, but tradition attributes the original to <strong>King Nandivardhana<\/strong>, Mahavira&#8217;s elder brother, who built it to enshrine the sacred spot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deity and Symbols<\/strong>: The main sanctum houses the <strong>Charan Paduka<\/strong> (sacred footprints) of Lord Mahavira in black stone (about 18 cm long), symbolizing his final presence. Some accounts mention footprints of his disciple Sudharma Swami nearby.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spiritual Role<\/strong>: It marks the exact cremation site and serves as a focal point for prayers, especially during festivals like <strong>Mahavir Jayanti<\/strong> and Diwali (Nirvana day).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The temple&#8217;s reflection in the lotus-filled waters creates a mesmerizing, almost ethereal sight, symbolizing purity rising from worldly elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Temples_and_Attractions_in_Pawapuri\"><\/span>Other Temples and Attractions in Pawapuri<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pawapuri hosts several other Jain temples (often five main ones mentioned in traditions), including structures enshrining Mahavira&#8217;s footprints and memorials.
