The
Architecture of the temple boast detailed carvings, and
decorative paintwork in the
ante-chambers that surrounding the main
shrine to the
Parshvanath, the twenty-third tirthankara.
The
Bird's Charity Hospital:
The
temple premises house a unique medical center for birds, the Birds' Charity
Hospital. Free treatment is given here, which draws inspiration from
the message of 'Live and let Live' given by Lord Mahavir, the twenty-fourth
Tirthankara of the Jains. It
serves as a rescue sanctuary for partridges, caught and wounded by fowlers
and bought in bulk by Jain merchants who bring them here to recover,
and there are separate wards for pigeons, parrots, sparrows and domestic
fowl. Squirrels, who will not hurt the birds, are also treated here,
but birds of prey are seen on a strictly outpatient basis, as they are
not vegetarian.
The Temple is managed by Shree Agarwala Digambar Jain Panchyat
Trust.
