Book Title: Shatrunjay a Pilgrimage Author(s): Manu Doshi Publisher: Indira Mansukhlal Doshi Memorial TrustPage 26
________________ Decorative Arch at the Entrance Around the main temple there are rows of temples. They can be roughly divided in three routes and accordingly pilgrims take three rounds of the main temple. The last row consists mostly of templets on the periphery of the complex. The temple of Pundarikswämi, the renowned Ganadhar of Lord Adinath, is in that row exactly facing the main temple. He is said to have attained the liberation here along with many others on 15th day of the month of Chaitra. In token of that, there is a special significance of the pilgrimage on that day. The inscription there indicates that the installation in that temple took place on the very day, the idol of Lord Ädinäth was installed in the main temple. Most of the pilgrims recite the fourth Stavan here. SHATRUNJAY -- PAGE 22 For Private & Personal Use Only Jain Education International www.jainelibrary.orgPage Navigation
