HERE is a temple of Lord Mahavira in Pargana Tehsil Naurangabad in Jaipur State. It is a famous place of pilgrimage for Jainas and non-Jainas from all over India, specially from Northern and North-Western India The tradition is and it is proved in the cases of many Jaina and non-Jaina men and women- --that any wish, devoutly and faithfully wished by a man here, finds its fulfilment within one year.
This temple is situated at a distance of about nine miles from the Pataunda Mahavira Road Station on the B. B. & C. I. Railway, between Gangapur City and Hindaun Junctions on that Railway The Station is so called because it is situated near the village Pataunda and because it has been built for the convenience of pilgrims to the Mahavira temple.
