Pawapuri |
Pawapuri, which
is also known as, Apapuri, the sinless town, is a very
sacred Jain Pilgrimage center. It was here that Lord Mahavira,
the greatest profounder of jainism, attained salvation.
Hundreds and thousands of his disciples and devotees took
away the ashes after his cremation here. The rush was
so great that even the soil of the areas were taken away
and it became a tank. Later on a beautiful temple of white
marble was constructed in the center of the tank to consecrate
the Lord's Nirvan. It is now known Jalmandir.
