Shree Pavapuri Tirth - Jeev Maitridham — Attraction in Rajasthan

❤❤💞This is best place to visit ❤❤🥰🥰 👉🥰About pavapuri dham_ Shree Pavapuri Tirtvh Jiv Metri Dham is situated at Sirohi district of Rajasthan. This campus is developed by K. P. Sanghvi Group and it comprises of a Jain Tirth (Temple complex) and Jeev Raksha Kendra (Animal Welfare Center). The Tirth derived its name after the Pavada Agriculture well that exists there. Shri Kumarpalbhai V. Shah inspired Late Shri Hajarimalji Poonamchandji Sanghvi (Bafna) and Shri Babulalji Poonamchandji Sanghvi (Bafna), the founders of K. P. Sanghvi Group, to construct a Tirth Dham. They started construction and development of the campus on May 30, 1998, Saturday (Jeth Shukla 15, 2054 V. S.). The initial thought was to construct a small temple and a shelter for 100 cows only but by God’s grace and blessings the campus is now spread over more than 500 acres of land. The temple complex occupies 31,01,472 sq. ft. area and the Jeev Raksha Kendra (Animal Welfare Center) occupies 71,96,112 sq. ft. area to provide shelter to 6,300 stray cattle. Shree Pavapuri Tirth Dham is a shining example of Jain Temple Architecture and Culture. It is a beautiful blend of art and architecture, enshrined in pure values that have percolated through generations. A visit here is therapeutic for the mind, body and soul. The blissful state of mind and peace experienced by a soul in Pavapuri cannot be put into words as it can only be felt. The calm, beautiful, scenic and vast complex of Pavapuri sits ensconced amidst the contemplative Aravali Mountain range that sits like a determined yogi in meditation. Attraction: JINALAYA - TEMPLE Walk through the 68 feet wide and 47 feet tall entrance of Pavapuri Jain Temple and you enter a world of tranquility. The 1,500 feet long wall offers a cocoon like protection. A 69 inches tall marble idol of Shree Shankheshwar Parshwanath presides over this temple complex. Sheer beauty of this idol captivates mind and soul and leaves one in raptures, basking in the divine presence of the Lord. The entrance of the temple has huge but traditionally unique doors. The temple also has a Kesar Kaksh (anointing room). JAL MANDIR Chaumukha Jal Mandir Pretihatha done by Acharya Shri Hemchandraji, 6 Achary Bhagawanto, 50 monk and 150 Nun Bhagawanto of 1st May 2009 was Sampanan

The other part of the complex has temples dedicated to the family deities, which includes temples of Shree Veer Manibhadra, Shree Nakoda Bhairav, Shree Shashandevi, Shree Padmavatidevi and Kuldevi Shree Sachchiya (Ossiya) Mataji. Ma Sarsvati Mataji Temple

SACHIYA MATA – Family Goddess (Kuldevi) of Oswals: Realizing the virtues of Param Pujya Shree Ratan Prabha Suriji, the King & the Kshatriyas of Osiya embraced Jainism as their religion and gave up the practice of sacrificing animals at the feet of Goddess Durga, but continued to worship the Goddess, renamed as “Sachiya Mata” and the Goddess became their Kuldevi (family Goddess) signifying their place and religion.

The temple complex is dotted with small dome shaped temples standing in resplendent glory, dedicated to various venerated Gods and Goddess. The domes of these temples are adorned with gold plated Kalash, which makes the temple complex a sight to behold.

The pink temple with its golden peak gives a beautiful impression of spiritual paradise. If one views from a distance, the whole surrounding including the temple complex and the animal shelter looks like Pink City.

A garden and a lake has been constructed in the complex to add to the religious and spiritual ambience of the place.

The Tirth has a check dam which collects and stores rainwater, which in turn is used for performing Pakshals etc., conducting Pujas.

Everything in the complex has been conceived keeping in mind convenience and comfort of the devotees visiting the place so that they return home with pleasant memories, peace and...

Pavapuri jeev Maitri dham serves the purpose of ahinsa and jeev raksha. Also it provides divine environment for Sadhana.

Regular panch kalyanak puja, snatra and sandhya Bhavna are various moments which I liked the most.

some commercial attractions like camel and horse riding, campus cars are also available. But it is not needed if you are like me who enjoy spending time with nature.

Garden are well maintained. Staff is well mannered. Bhojanshala food is little spicy for visitors from Gujarat and Mumbai. But Rajasthani items are made fantastic. I liked malpua very much.

Parmatma Shree Sankheshwar Parshwanath jinalaya is the heart of the Tirth. Along with jalmandir of Charam Tirth pati Shree Mahavir Swami. But visit is incomplete without spending some time at Sumati Jeevraksha Kendra.

Dhyan vatika of Shree Ajitnath prabhu is the place I will spend atleast 30 min. Per day for meditation and prarthana.

The music playing throughout the Tirth create divine environment. Words are not enough to praise and before I conclude I shall also mention about art gallery and rashi udhyan.

The nearby Tirth are abu delwada. Bherutarak, jiravalla Parshwanath so atleast spend 3-4 days while visiting Shree Pavapuri Jeev Maitri dham.

We are thankful to K P Sanghvi trust and everyone associated with this wonderful Jain Tirth. Also Shree Kumarpal V Shah for inspiration. Initially this Tirth was planned to accommodate 100 cows today 5400+ panjarapol is working smoothly.

As our pujya Guru Dev Yuva Hriday Samrat Acharya Vijay Hemratnasuri says jivo rakshati Rakshitah .

Many many thanks lot of thanks. Prabhu Shree Sankheshwar Parshwanath nu aa mahimavant mangalkari tirth jug jug jivo. Yug Yug jivo evi abhyarthana Ane Prarthana.

Jai Jai...

This place is so so good!! ❤ You will need a whole day to really enjoy this tirth. This tirth contains:

1. Dharamshalas
2. Bhojanshala
3. Gaushalas
4. Nakshatra Vatika
5. Art Gallery
6. 2 Temples
7. Kalp Vrukshs
8. And many more (as we visited only these places)

Dharamshalas are really nice. We stayed in the Dharamshala named "Kanni Mata". It was really comfortable. A big hall containing 2 beds and a big mat, A separate room containing a washroom and a bathing room. The room was pretty good. The food in the Bhojanshala is good. All the food serving peope are really kind. There are many Gaushalas here. There are 6000 cows in total. You can feed the cows with laddoo as well as milk. Talking about the Art Gallery, it was really amazing. It had all the arts showing the birth to moksh journey of almost all the Tirthankars. The Art Gallery was so organized and calm. It also has a short movie but at our time we couldn't see it. Then there are 2 temples out of which there is a Jal Mandir. Besides the Jal Mandir, there is big ground where there are 24 trees of 24 Tirthankars. Each tree is different as it shows which Tirthankars got Kevalgyaan or Nirvana (I'm not sure, will check and edit soon) at which tree. The night picture of the temple is attached. The temple is so so calm at night. Also, don't miss the Bhakti Sandhya in the temple at night. Also, there are many Kalp Vrukshs here where you can wish anything by tying a thread there.

And let me tell you, all the staffs at this tirth are reallyyy kind and helpful 👍 My overall experience here was...
