Begin your tour
Welcome to Vardhman's "Hastinapur Jain Temples Tour"
In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel/home & proceed to visit Shri 1008 Bhagwan Parshwanath Atishay Shetra Prachin Digamber Jain Temple at Bada Goan.
Shri 1008 Parshvanath Digambara Jain Atishay Kshetra, commonly known as Bada Gaon Jain Temple, is located in Bada Gaon, Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh, India. This sacred Digambara Jain temple is dedicated to Shri Parshvanatha, the 23rd Tirthankara of Jainism, and is celebrated as an Atishay Kshetra (a place of miracles).
The temple’s central attraction is the stunning white marble idol of Shri Parshvanatha, which was miraculously discovered in 1922. Jain saint Acharya Anant Kirti Maharaj, with his spiritual insight, sensed the presence of this divine idol hidden within a hill. The excavation that followed led to the unearthing of this sacred idol, along with a well whose water is believed to have healing properties. Devotees flock to the temple to seek blessings and to use the water for spiritual and physical ailments.
The temple complex is home to numerous other idols and relics uncovered during the excavation. Each idol has been carefully enshrined in separate altars, enhancing the temple’s spiritual aura. The architecture reflects traditional Jain design, with intricately carved structures and serene surroundings.
Later, visit Shri 1008 Parshvanath Digambar Jain Atishaya Kshetra, Aggarwal Mandi, Tatiri
Tattari is shining like the Sun shining in the sky. This area is situated 5 Km from Bagpat in Uttar Pradesh. Here in the temple, the miraculous wonderful Shyamvarni beautiful idol of Shri Parshvanath Bhagwan is situated. On one side of this altar, Shri Mahavir Bhagwan and on the other side, the miraculous beautiful idol of Shri Shantinath Bhagwan is situated. On seeing them everyone feels immense peace. Here miracle has happened. God has chosen Geeta Ji, whose residence is in Tattiari itself. On Magh Badi Panchami, Samvat 2064 (27 January 2007, Sunday), Lord Shri Adinaay Ji Mahavir Ji appeared before Geeta Ji in the form of Pratibha and a voice came that the arthritis in your hands and feet will be cured on coming to the temple, it would not be cured at any other place. But no, the pain in the feet will be cured by turning the back and doing Namaskar and the pain in the hands will be cured by ringing the bell three times. Geeta Ji did the same and her pain disappeared instantly. After this, she again had darshan the next day and a voice came that a miracle is to happen in this temple. In the coming days, the way in which the miracle is to happen in the temple, Baba showed all this in a moment like people are doing parikrama on their knees in the temple, there is a line of devotees below in the temple, two bhajans are playing in the temple through tapes, one is Mo Mantra Japo Navkar Manva and the other is Dukh Se Ghabrao Se Nahi Mere Saathi and a voice came that whichever devotee will come to the temple with his pain and problem, the solution to get rid of the problem will be told by you only. Through the knowledge received by the grace of God, Geeta Ji told everyone the method according to their pain. By the method told by her, by worshipping God, by doing Bhakti Jaap Chalisa, everyone's toughest pains get removed.
Proceed to visit Shri Chandraprabhu Digambar Jain Atishaya Kshetra Mandir, Barnawa, Uttar Pradesh (Atishay Kshetra)
It is situated at combination of two valleys. About 2700 years old idol of Lord Chandraprabhuji is established here. Also there is 1300 years old idol of Lord Mallinathji. The place is famous as Atishay Kshetra (miraculous place) since the Mughal Empire, as they tried to destruct the temple but lost their power to do so. Aacharya Shree Vimalsagarji and Shree Bharatsagarji experience high level piece and contemplation at this place. Earlier Temple was smaller and incomplete and the new Temple was completed in the year 1908. Even Muni Shree Nemisagarji has seen the king of gods Indra while worshipping the Lord in temple Aacharya Vimalsagarji with his power of contemplation inform that there is uncountable wealth in the basement of temple.
Further drive towards Shri Parshvanath Digamber Jain Mandir Atishya Kshetra, Jalalabad
Shri 1008 Parshvanath Digambar Jain Atishya Kshetra, Jalalabad is located in Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh. Earlier there was a room only where the idols were kept. In 1970, Jain Saint Acharya Shri Vidhanand Ji Maharaj visited the temple. He declared the area ancient and extraordinary. He advised placing the idols in a suitable place. Inspired by the Maharaj, the Jain community also felt the need for the restoration of the ancient temple. The temple renovation began in 1979. On June 26, 1980, after the Panchkalyanak (consecration ceremony), the idol was reinstated in the Prachin Vedi (ancient altar). In 1983, inspired by Acharya Shanti Sagar Ji Maharaj, a new Shikhar (spire) was constructed during the annual Rath Yatra thus converting the room into a temple. Currently in the temple, the essence of Jainism is depicted on the walls through stone carvings by skilled artisans from Rajasthan.
Drive towards Shri Digambar Jain Atishaya Kshetra, Vahlana
About two centuries ago, 'Vahara' was a big city. About 300 Jain families lived here and there was a grand Jain temple of Bhagwan Parshvanath. From the prashasti written on the idol and just by seeing it, it is known that the idol of Bhagwan Parshvanath with nine hoods made of white stone is very ancient, very beautiful, very serious and full of wonders.
The idol is full of wonders, of which there are many examples. It is said that 49 years ago, thieves had entered the temple. One of them had tied the umbrella, fan, throne and other valuables in a bundle. When the thief tried to go out, he could not find the way. He remained locked there the whole night. When the temple was opened in the morning, he was caught. The thief said, "When I was going out with the goods, I lost my eyesight and could not come out." He begged God for forgiveness, only then his eyes got light. The umbrella and bells moving on the altar of God for months are living examples of miracles. There are footprints underground in the temple itself, from where the idol was found. In front of the temple, there is a 57.25 feet high pillar on which beautiful workmanship has been done.

Day 2 Vahlana - Hastinapur

After an early darshan and breakfast, proceed to Sh. Hastinapur Jain Tirth.
Enroute visit Arham Shri Chandraprabhu Digambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Mahalka
Around 200 years ago during the British rule, Sardhana was ruled by Mughal Begum Sumru. During the excavation, a white stone idol of Lord Chandraprabhu Ji in the fourth period of Padmasana posture was found. An advisor of Sumru Begum said that wherever this idol will be placed, there will be the rule of Jainism. Begum called the scholars of Jain community and asked them to take the idol out of the kingdom. The Jain community took the idol on a bullock cart. The bullock cart was moving well when it suddenly stopped on reaching Mahalka. People tried a lot but the bullock cart was not ready to move from its place. There was a Chaityalay of Lord Parshvanath there. As soon as the idol of Lord Chandraprabhu Ji was lifted to place it in the same Chaityalay, the weight of the idol reduced. Thereafter, the idol was placed in the Chaityalay. It is the miracle of this idol that if anyone gets bitten by a snake within the boundary of Mahalka, then that person does not die.
After visiting Vahalna procced to Hastinapur Jain Temple.
It is a very important place of pilgrimage for Jain for this place boasts of 4 kalyanaks each of Sh. Shantinath Bhagwan, Sh. Kunthunath Bhagwan and Sh. Arnath Bhagwan (i.e. a total if 12 kalyanaks). These kalyanak include chyavan kalyanak (coming into the womb of the mother), janam kalyanak (birth), diksha kalyanak (sainthood) and kevalgyan kalyanak (attaining enlightenment) of three of these tirthankars. Also this place is significant due to the fact that our first tirthankar Sh. Aadinath Bhagwan conducted his paarna (broke his fast) at the hands of his great-grandson Shreyans Kumar with sugarcane juice after fasting for 12 months. Besides, this was the land of construction of samvasaran of Bhagwan Mallinath.
This place was also visited by Bhagwan Munisuvrat Swami, Parshwnath Bhagwan and Bhagwan Mahavir Swami. Hastinapur was the capital of the Kauravas and the Pandvas in the times of the Mahabharat. It is the birthplace of six of the twelve Chakravartis beginning with Bharat - Chakravarti. This is also the birth place of Parashuram of the times of the Ramayana. Words fail to describe the grandeur and glory of this place. The idols of this temple are very ancient. However the temple remained in oblivion due to some un-known reasons until Acharya Vijay Samudra Suri Ji (of Vijay Vallabh Suri Ji sect) visited this place in 1960’s and got the jirnodhwar of this tirth done. He got a new shikharbadh temple constructed and got the ancients idols placed in them. The moolnayak (main idol) is of Sh. Shantinath Bhagwan with the idols of Sh. Kunthunath Bhagwan and Sh. Arnath Bhagwan on either sides in separate enclosures.
There is also a Paarna-Mandir in the vicinity of the main temple which has a beautiful idol of Sh. Aadinath Bhagwan taking sugarcane juice from Shreyans Kumar. In front of this temple is paarna-hall.

The original place of varsi-tapp paarna (breaking of fast) of Sh. Aadinath Bhagwan at the hands of Shreyans Kumar is located at a distance of about a kilometer from the main temple and is called Shri Nishiya Ji. This place has got the charan-paduka’s (foot-prints) in marble of Sh. Aadinath Bhagwan. Recently a huge 151 feet tall temple called ‘Shri Ashtapad Jain Shwetambar Tirth’ has also come up in the vicinity.
