Shri Haridwar Tirth

This magnificent artistic gin temple of Shri Chintamani Parshwanath built from the golden yellowstone stone of Jaisalmer is unique and unique in itself. According to Jain Shilp Shastra, the craft scheme of this temple was made in the efficient combination of Shri Virendra Bhai, grandson of the famous Sompura Sri Amritbhai Trivedi of India. Even after fifteen years of the temple prestige, the work of the form and decoration of this temple is going on continuously, which further enhances the artistry of the temple

There was neither a Jain dharamshala / upanishad nor a Shwetambar Jain temple on the sacred pilgrimage land of this Haridwar ornamented with most dharamshalas across India. Lala Sunderlalji Jain of Motilal Banarsidas Prakashan Sansthan always used to miss this deficiency. Lala ji had discussed this on several occasions with Seth Kasturbhai Lalbhai, the then president of Seth Anandji Kalyanji Pedhi. He had the same feeling that a grand Jain temple should be built on this holy land as well as Dharamshala, sub-storey and food hall. But this dream could not come true in the lifetime of both those great personalities.Lala Sunderlalji nephew Padmashree late Shantilal Jain inherited the spirit of building a Jain temple in Haridwar. Inspired by the auspicious blessings of Sushravak of Chennai, the exclusive newcomer, Shri Acharya Shri Kalapurnasuriji and Pujya Muniraj Shri Jambuvijayji, Shri Shorilalji associated himself with body and wealth with this project and its Took all the work of construction on his shoulders. Shri Amarchandji Vaidya, a resident of Chennai from Daiva Yoga, who had the divine connection of his late father, became an important link in this project and the dream of temple construction started coming true.Lala Shantilalji first selected and purchased the land for the original scheme with the help of his friend and the current chairman of the temple trust, Padmashree Gyanchandji Jain. "A good start is in itself considered to be the end of half the work." Today the shrine complex is spread over a total of one lakh square feet of land and the sequence of expansion is going on.
