Sacred Details

Sacred History

• The credit of this Pratima goes to Shri Herubhai of Shrimali Gynati.
• The Mughal kings had broken this Pratima into 9 pieces and thrown them into a well.
• Later a Shravak of Ghogha had a dream in which the Adhishthayak dev had indicated him to bring out the Pratima and keep it in Lapsi (a type of Gujrati sweet) of 9 mann (weight measure) for 9 days.
• Obeying his words, the Pratima was kept for 9 days accordingly but on the 8th day many people from bharuch came here for prabhu darshan.
• Due to their strong eagerness or prabhu darshan, Pratima was carried out from the Lapsi on 8th day.
• Due to the divine powers, the Pratima became intact but the broken lines were still visible and hence it is known as Navkhanda Parshwanath.
• The new Jinalay has three shikhar’s which is very beautiful.
• ghoga was also known as ghundigad in ancient times
