Samosharan Mandir
Sub Place Details: The Samosharan Mandir is a unique architectural and spiritual site that commemorates the spot where Lord Mahavira delivered his divine sermons. In Jain cosmology, a "Samosharan" is a multi-tiered, circular preaching hall created by celestial beings whenever a Tirthankara attains K eval Gnan (omniscience). This temple is designed to replicate that divine structure. It is said that at this spot, the Lord's voice reached all beings—humans, animals, and gods—alike, teaching the path of peace and liberation. The temple is built of shimmering white marble and is situated very close to the Jal Mandir. The energy of the place is focused on "Gnan" or knowledge. Inside, the temple features a circular arrangement that leads to a central point where the Lord's seat is symbolically placed. It is a place where many pilgrims sit for hours to read scriptures or meditate on the teachings of Jainism. The surrounding gardens are well-maintained, providing a quiet space for reflection. The temple serves as a bridge between the physical world and the spiritual heights attained by the Tirthankara, making it a vital stop for anyone wishing to understand the philosophical depth of the Jain faith.
