Varkhadi Shwetamber Jain Derasar, Morvada,Banaskantha,Gujarat

The ancient Pagliye of Godiji Parshvanath is situated at a place called Varkhadi on the outskirts of Morwada village. This is a two-storey Pagliye temple. It is believed that it is a beautiful and peaceful place of worship for doing sadhana.

According to a belief, Megha Shah went to Patan for business, where he got a message in his dream that, “The governor of this place has a Jina idol, you can buy it by paying money.” Megha Shah paid the money and took the idol of Lord Parshvanath. Knowing the divine power of this idol, Megha Shah took it to Nagarparkar (Pakistan) via Radhanpur. The idol of Shri Godi Parshvanath was installed at the place through which he took it to Nagarparkar, which is today known as ‘Varkhadi’. The idol of Godi Parshvanath was installed on a throne there. As the news of the miraculous idol spread among people, everyone started coming to see it.
