The
life
size
statue
of
esteemed
Lord
Shri
Parshwanath,
the
23rd
tirthankar
of
the
Jain
religion
has
been
installed
here.
To
prove
its
ancientness
a
few
of
the
facts
are
as
under:
In
the
olden
times
the
statues
made
out
of
precious
and
semi-precious
stones
were
mostly
preferred
than
the
ordinary
stone
statues,
according
to
the
sayings
this
statue
was
also
made
of
Markat
Mani.
The
original
life
size
statue
(measuring
nine
hands
length)
of
the
same
color,
shape,
pleasant
facial
expressions
and
action
oriented
pose,
can
be
crafted
only
by
some
one
who
had
personally
seen
the
Lord.
In
spite
of
dreadful
and
torrential
rain
Dharnendra
Dev
continued
Lord’s
devotional
bhakti
for
almost
three
days,
in
it’s
memory
the
Lord’s
statue
was
crafted.
The
example
of
which
has
been
described
in
Shri
Parshwanath
Charitra,
Parshwanath
Panch-Kalyanak
Pujan
and
various
other
treatise
related
to
Jain
Religion.
After
Diksha
the
roaming
area
to
the
Lord
remained
in
and
around
the
surroundings
of
Varanasi.
Related
to
the
same
are
Ahichhatra
tirths
where
perhaps
Meghamali
continued
it’s
upasarga
towards
the
Lord
and
Dharnendra
Dev
Crafted
Lord’s
Statue.
After
a
long
time
the
same
was
brought
perhaps
by
the
angels
at
it’s
present
site
of
Unhel.
In
the
second
century
old
jain
Stupas
situated
around
the
stony
Hillocks
near
Mathura’s
stone
inscription
there
are
represences
about
some
eleven
Hundred
years
old
jain
building’s
and
statues,
wherein
there
are
deiscriptions
of
statues
installed
by
angels
and
among
them
there
is
also
a
represence
of
a
life
size
statue
made
of
Market
Mani.
Perhaps
this
statue
of
Lord
Shri
Nageshwar
Parshwanath
may
be
the
same
one.
There
is
a
reference
in
the
old
treaties
about
creations
of
statues
of
the
great
saint
by
persons
during
their
life
time
and
hence
this
may
not
be
improbable
or
surprising.
The
sacred
special
light
marks
on
pedestal
of
the
statue
also
proves
this
and
the
experts
of
statues
have
also
endorsed
there
facts.
Considering
the
above
points
and
the
history
of
Shri
Nageshwar
tirth,
without
any
hesitation
this
can
be
inferred
very
well
that
this
statue
is
3000
years
old
and
that
there
cannot
be
two
opinions
about
it.
