Shri Alaukik Parshwanath #Jain Mahatirth, Hasampura village, Ranabad, #MadhyaPradesh

One of the 108 temples of Parshwa Nath. Inscriptions indicate it is older than the 10th century of Vikram Samvat. The parrikar behind the 24 Tirthankar idols is very artistic. ImageImageImageImage
Today’s Hasampura was previously in the well flourished 'Ujjain' city. During the reign of King Vikramaditya, this village was a street of the city of Ujjain. The king's palace was located here and beside it, was the palace of the queen which is now called Ranikot. ImageImageImageImage
The temple was first renovated in VS 1649 by Shah Vidyadhar of Ujjain. Later by Acharya Bhuvanbhanusurishvarji’s disciple Muni Nyaayratnavijayji, who on seeing the condition of the temple, initiated renovation in VS 2029, which was completed in VS 2036. It is an Atishay Kshetra. ImageImageImageImage

Who is JAGAT SETH??

India's richest person from whom the #British & #Mughals used to borrow money. Before British rule, our country used to be 'Sone ki Chidiya' due to our rich kings & princely states whose treasuries were full. There was no poverty. Image
There were such people in India in the 17th-18th century to whom the Mughals & British Empire kept bowing their heads for money. One such household was the 'Jagat Seth' Gharana of Murshidabad, #Bengal. They were originally from #Rajasthan Image
Jagat Seth was a title given to Fatehchand ji in 1723 AD by Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah. Since then this entire gharana became famous as 'Jagat Seth'. It was considered to be the richest banker's house of those times. Image

What is PARYUSHAN?

It is the holiest 8-day festival in the annual Jain calendar followed by Shwetambar Jains. Similarly, Digambars follow Das Lakshana, a 10-day spiritual festival that starts when Paryushan ends, on the Samvatsari day.

#jainism #jain #paryushan #festival
This festival is important for Jains since it only comes once in a year. #Jain festivals are characterized by renunciation, austerities, study of the scriptures, repetition of holy hymns, meditation & expressing devotion for the Paramatma.
Not only underground vegetables but consuming of fresh vegetables & fruits is also prohibited during Paryushan. Everyday some or the other Tap is followed. In any tap, chauvihar is a must ie, No food or water after sunset until Navkarsi (48 minutes after sunrise) next day.

Doddappa temple, Adargunchi #Karnataka

Many #Jain temples in Karnataka were converted into Veerashaivite/Lingayat temples. Either the Jina idol was uprooted & Linga was placed or it was converted into a Veershaivite or it was taken off the Main shrine & placed at the entrance.
Built sometime between 10th & 11th century, the temple today is fronted by a stone sculpture of the bull Nandi and houses a massive black stone statue of a Jina, placed alongside a Shiva linga (phallus, the form in which Lingayats worship Shiva).
The entire temple was re-built during the Virashaiva takeover of the basadi. Instead of removing the idol, they converted it & retained it as a sign of domination and control, thereby sending a clear signal of Virashaiva’s triumph over Jainism.

Was Jagganath temple of #Orissa a Jain temple?? Is the idol the Kalinga Jina? Scholars, Historians, Architecture, Stambha, Rituals, Literature, Tirthankar idols carved on walls indicate it was. Jaganath is none other than Adinath!
