Lord Parshwanath was first named as "UWASAGGHARAM" as per Bhadrabahu Samhita by the 14th predecessor of Lord Mahaveer's Lineage; Shri Bhadrababhu Swami, UWASAGGAHARAM stands for the Emancipator of all evils. His worship emancipates an individual of evil thoughts and evil actions paving the way for self realization and renunciation.

Situated on the bank of river Sheonath, amidst entrancing natural scenery, this shrine of the 23rd Teerthankar Lord Shri Parshwanath commemorates his holy visit to this region about 3000 years ago as a Shraman (A wandering mendicant dedicated to self-realization through self sacrifice). Scattered Jain Sculpture, large number of devotees and dilapidated ancient shrine along with Lord's Foot - prints historically, proves the Lord's journey to this area. The mysterious manner of locating, finding, procuring and then installing this ancient idol also proves categorically, his divine grace. This shrine is virtually an epic of Jain-devotional philosophy engraved on stones. A pilgrimage to this shrine inspires noble conduct, self-discipline, penance and equanimity.
