Review highlights
- A genuinely unusual Jain deity: Ghantakarna Mahavir is depicted holding a bow and arrow - unique among Jain temple iconography, which typically avoids weapon-bearing imagery given its core non-violence (ahimsa) principle - he is venerated as a protector deity, alongside the temple's other main deity, the 6th Tirthankar Padmaprabh. Established in 1917 by Shwetambar monk Buddhisagarsuri. Famous for its 'Sukhdi' prasad (a ghee-based sweet) which devotees are asked NOT to remove from temple premises, per strict, repeatedly-emphasised temple rules cited across many reviews. One reviewer flags cleaning staff soliciting extra tips near the parking/prasad area as inappropriate at a place of worship.
