  History
  Mughal Emperor Jahangir once invited several Jain seth (businessmen) to come and settle in the city and granted them some land south of the Chandani Chauk around Dariba Gali. He also permitted them to build a temporary structure to house a Jain temple. The Jain community acquired three marble idols installed by Jivaraj Papriwal under the supervision of Bhattaraka Jinachandra in Samvat 1548 (1491 AD) for the temple.The main idol is that of Tirthankara Parshva.
  It is said that the deities in temple were originally kept in a tent belonging to a Jain officer of the Mughal army. During the Mughal period, the construction of a sikhara for a temple was not permitted. This temple did not have a formal shikara until after India's independence when the temple was extensively rebuilt.
  In 1800-1807, Raja Harsukh Rai , the imperial treasurer obtained imperial permission to build a temple with a sikhara
in the Jain neighborhood of Dharamapura, just south of Chandani Chauk. Thus temple, known for fine carvings, is now known as the Naya Mandir "New Temple".
  Temple complex
  A manastambha column stands in front of the temple. The main devotional area of the temple is on the first floor. It is
reached by ascending to the terrace after crossing the small courtyard of the temple, surrounded by a colonnade. The temple is quite popular among the people as devotees come and make offerings such as fruits, grains, rice and even candles. The place is very peaceful and the ambience is really soothing especially due to the shining of the gilded paintwork of the shrine area under the lights of butter lamps and candles.
  In 1931  Acharya Shantisagar arrived in Delhi. He was the first Digambar Jain monk to visit Delhi after a gap of eight centuries. There is a memorial marking this historical occasion.
  There is also a bookstore in the complex where a wide range of literatures on Jainism is available, apart from unique curios and souvenirs related to the religion. Visitors should take off their shoes and all other leather goods and hand it to the concerned person before entering the temple complex.
.  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.
