Shri Shanthinath Bhagwan in pink color, seated in a lotus posture and of height 90Cms

History of this shrine commences with the history of Bhagwan Sri Adhinath. In scriptures, this place has been called by various names such as Gajpur, Hastinapur, Nagpur, Asandivat, Brahmasthal, Shanthinagar, Kunjarpur etc., Bhagwan Adhinath handed over to his son Bahubalji kingdom of Podanpur and Hastinapur. In Podanpur, bahubalji ruled himself while Hastinapur was rules by his son Somayash. Younger brother of Somayash named Shreyanshkumar had the good fortune to serve sugar-cane juice to Bhagwan Sri Adhinath here in Hastinapur, when he broke his fast. In commeration of the event, there is a reference that Sri Shreyanshkumar got constructed here a stupa studded with precious stones and enshrined here Bhagwan’s Foot-Prints. After Sri Adhinath Bhagwan, three other Tirthankaras viz Sri Shanthinath Bhagwan, Sri Kunthunath Bhagwan and Sri Arahanath Bhagwan had their four Kalnayaks viz, Chyavan, Janm, Diksha and Keval Gnan also happened here, in commemoration of which it is said three other stupas were also built. These ancient stupas and temples are at present non-existent because several times this city has seen the periods of both rise and fall. At various spots after excavations ancient relics are found which remind one of their antiquity. A king of Hastinapur, Raja Shivraj after conversion to Jainism took Diksha on being impressed by the religious discourses of Bhagwan Mahavir. As a memoriam therefore of Bhagwan, he had also got constructed here a stupa.
