How To Reach Pawapuri Jal Mandir
Nalanda, Bihar, India:
The Pawapuri Jal Mandir (Water Temple) is a breathtakingly beautiful and one of the holiest places for Jains worldwide, marking the spot where Lord Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara, attained Nirvana (spiritual liberation) in 527 BCE. After his cremation, a large pond formed due to devotees taking soil as a relic. The current white marble temple, appearing to float on the center of this large sacred pond (Kamal Sarovar or Lotus Pond), is a modern masterpiece built in the late 19th century. The temple is accessed via a long, 600-foot stone bridge, which connects it to the mainland. Inside the main sanctum, the idol of Lord Mahavira is venerated. The serene, picturesque environment, with the temple's white structure reflecting perfectly in the surrounding water, creates an atmosphere of profound peace and spiritual contemplation. The site also includes the Samavasaran, the hall where Mahavira is said to have delivered his final sermon, and a small temple marking the spot of his cremation (Samosharan Temple). It is a vital and picturesque stop on the Jain pilgrimage circuit of Bihar and is highly renowned for its unique location and architectural beauty.
