Shri Jain Derasar, Gambhira,Anand,Gujarat

The construction work of Shri Rishabhdev Prabhu’s Prasad lasted for four to five years. For this Dehrasar, the Sangha here was gifted by Shri Mallinathji Jain Dehrasar of Aras Bhoyani.

The existing statue of Shri Rishabhdev Bhagwant is a very ancient statue from the time of Shri Samprati Raja. This idol was brought here on foot from Khambhat by a Jain brother of that time after fasting for three days (worshipping the eighth penance) and its installation was done on the 5th day of Magsar Sudhi of Samvat 1928, by the auspicious hands of Shri Riddhisuriji Maharaj of Khartargarchh.

It is said that at that time a miraculous event occurred that at the time of installation, the bakulas that were thrown to offer to the gods did not fall back to the ground and only the shells of the thrown shri fruits fell to the ground. Thus, the installation of this Lord here was done by a highly accomplished Acharya Maharaj, which was also a good fortune for this village.

Due to this incident, brothers and sisters of every community of the village respect the idol of Shri Rishabhdev Bhagwant and the Jinalaya and participate in the programs related to it on every religious occasion. The installation of Shri Rishabhdev Bhagwant has taken place at such an auspicious time that we can see his gentle talent.

No one who devotes this idol with devotion will be unhappy, but the words announced at the time of installation seem true today.
