Shri Sherisa Tirth

Sacred Details

Sacred History

• A Saint’s Vision: In the 12th century, the learned monk Acharya Devendrasurishwarji used his divine intuition to discover a massive, sacred stone slab buried deep within the natural landscape of Sherisa village.
• The Blind Sculptor: Following the guidance of Goddess Padmavati, a blind sculptor from Soparak was commissioned; he worked in total darkness after sunset while observing a strict three-day fast.
• Miraculous Craftsmanship: Through the sculptor's unique skill and the Acharya's spiritual energy, a magnificent idol was flawlessly carved from the stone just before the break of dawn.
• Mystical Transport: That same night, the Acharya used mantra powers to bring four additional idols from Ayodhya, though one was left in Dharasenak village because daylight arrived before the journey ended.
• The "Lodan" Legend: The main idol was originally known as "Lodan Parshvanath" because it used to sway; however, the Acharya eventually used his spiritual strength to stabilize and fix the statue.
• Origin of the Name: The name "Sherisa" is said to come from an event where the holy water from the Lord’s ceremonial bath flooded the village streets (Sheris), making them narrow and overflow.
