Mathura Jain Chorasi Address: NH2-Bhuteshwar Rd, Dwarka Enclave, Krishna Nagar, Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, 281004, India
Mathura is a sacred place not only for Hindus but also for Jains. The Jain Chaurasi Temple is a proof. The temple was built by Mathura Jain Samaj in the memory of Jambu Swami, who attained nirvana here. It is dedicated to 2nd Tirthankara – Ajitnath, and it is a siddha kshetra (place of salvation).
Mathura Jain Chaurasi Temple, or Antim Kevali Shri 1008 Jambu Swami Nirvan Sthal Digamber Jain Mandir, is one of the few places of worship for the Jains in Mathura.
The temple is built across a wide expanse of land near a forest, on the banks of River Yamuna. It has a big hall which can hold up to 500 people during the rituals.
History of Mathura Jain Chaurasi
Jambu Swami is the last Kevali (omniscient being), after Mahavira, in Jain tradition. He is believed to have attained moksha at 84, while in Mathura. Thus, the place came to be known as Chaurasi (84, in Hindi) and the temple became popular as Mathura Chaurasi Jain Mandir.
Things to do at Mathura Jain Chaurasi Mandir
The main deity of Jain Chaurasi Mathura is Tirthankar Ajitnath, the 2nd tirthankar. His idol is made of white stone, which was discovered during a land excavation in Gwalior. After Jambu Swami attained nirvana, his charan was obtained and placed along with the deity.
The temple walls have colourful paintings and inscriptions belonging to Jain culture and art. The surrounding beautiful garden also adds magnificence to the temple.
Apart from the statue of Ajitnath Bhagwan and the charan of Jambu Swami, Jain Chorasi Mandir also has shrines of Neminath, Parasnath and Mahavir Bhagwan. The statues of first Kevali Bahubali and the last Kevali Jambu Swami, too, adorn the temple.
You can also book a stay in Mathura Chaurasi Digambar Jain Mandir. It has rest rooms with modern amenities to cater to the needs of the pilgrims.
