तिर्थ वंदना तिर्थ भूमि कलिकुंड/kalikund tirth
पर्श्वंनाथ प्रभू दीक्षा के बाद प्रथम पारणु सारथधन के घर कर विहार कर कादंबरी नामक अटवि मे पधारे
वहां निर्मल नीर से भरे कमल के फूल से महकते हंस आदि पक्षी से गुजते कुंड नामक सरोवर के पास पीपल के वृक्ष के नीचे काऊसग ध्यान में खडे रहे
तब एक हाथी पानी पीने के लिए वहां आये
प्रभू को देख हाथी के भाव ऊछरने लगे
हाथी सरोवर में से सुढ मे पानी भरकर प्रभू को अभिषेक किया
बाद में सरोवर के बीच में खिलते कमल का फूल लाकर प्रभू को चढाया
हाथी की इस ऊच भावना से धरणेन्द खुश हुए
और हाथी को देव गती का पुण्य बांधा
इस पावन कारी भूमि कलिकुंड नामक तिर्थ से प्रचलित हुआ ।

Mulnayak: Nearly 120 cms. high, white-colored idol of
Bhagawan Kalikund Parshvanath in the Padmasana
posture.

The name of this city was Dhavalakkapur. In
the times of the Mahabharata, this was a vast city. This
is the birth place of His Holiness Dadashri
Jinadattasurishvarji and the holly land of initiation
(diksha) of Upadhyay Dharmadevji. There are evidences
to show that many temples were built and many
religious activities were done here in the twelfth century
of the Vikram era. Under the inspiration of His Holiness
Acharyadev Vijayrajendrasurisvarji auspices of
Kanaksurisvarji, this 2200 years old idol was installed in
this vast, high multi-stepped temple, comparable to
God’s residence, on the third day of the bright half of
the month of Fagum in the year 2038 of the Vikram era.
Dadavadi of Shri Jinadattasurishvarji, the great Acharya
of Khartargachchha, is in front of this temple.
On the land of one lakh of square ft. near this temple,
there is Mini-Shetrunjaya temple. It reminds one of the
45 ft. high artificial hill. The city of temples is built on
the land of 25000 square ft. With ‘Jal Taleti’, ‘Babuna
Dera’. temple of Bhagawan Shantinath’, ‘Dada’s Tank’,
‘Nava tunk’, ‘Getina Paga’, the foot of the hill etc., this
mini-shetrunjaya looks beautiful like the actual sacred
place of Shetrunjaya.
