Mahuva Digambar Jain Temple

The ancient idol of Lord Parshwanath is very miraculous and has a huge followership from people of all religious faiths. The idol was recovered from village Tulagaon in Gujarat. A devotee dreamt about the existence of this idol at Tulagaon and then the idol was found there. Later the idol was brought to Mahua and installed in the Chandraprabha Digamabar Jain Mandir. This temple was destroyed in fire and floods in 1970 CE. The temple was then renovated and rebuilt. The other idols of Bhagawan Chandraprabha; Bhagwan Shantinatha; Bhagwan Mahavir, Bhagawan Adinath and other Tirthanakara idols were installed.
