Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra at Kobra, Gujarat.

Every year on 22nd May at 2.07 pm sun rays fall on forehead (known as Surya Tilak) of Shri Mahavir Swami at Koba Jain Temple, situated near Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar Highway in Gujarat, India, since on May 22nd, Acharya Kailashsagar Suriswarji died in Koba Jain Aradhana Kendra.

"Koba, a small village, is on Ahmedabad Gandhinagar Highway, Gujarat India. Since then Acharya Padmasagar Suriswarji pioneered to worship Lord Mahavir by Surya Tilak,” says Shrenikbhai Shah, trustee of Koba Jain Aradhana Kendra. “Since 1987, every year the Surya Tilak happens exactly at 2.07 pm on 22nd May for three minutes. Till this date we don’t have seen clouds at this time obstructing sun rays,” Shri Shah added.

He also said that there is no magic, but such Sutya tilak has been made possible thanks to skillfully construction of temple with perfect use of mathematics, astronomy and traditional knowledge of sculpture.
