as
well
as
standing
Kayotsarga
posture,
in
d
typical😳
naked
form
of
Jain

800meter,
largest
one
is
of
Lord
Parshwanathji,
it
is
42
feet
tall
&
30
feet
broad.
This
place
is
a
part
of
nearly
100
Jain⛩️
monuments
found
in
&
around
d
city,
but
these
r
dated
😱earlier
than

Caves.
Both
monuments
were🔨
defaced
&
desecrated
around
1527
when
d👑
Emperor
Babur
ordered
their
destruction⚔️.
In
1527
d
Urvahi
Jinas
were
mutilated
by
👑Mughal
emperor
Babar,
a
fact
he
records
in
his
memoirs.
Centuries
later,👉🏻
d
Jain
community
⚒️restored
many
of
statues
by
adding
back
stucco
heads
on
d
top
of
d
damaged
idols.
Overall
it
was
a
grt
experience
to
knw
about
d
ancient
history
of
Gwalior
