The ancient idol of Lord Parshwanath is very miraculous and has huge followership from people of all religious faiths. The idol was recovered from the village Tulagaon in Gujarat. A devotee dreamt about the existence of this idol at Tulagaon and then the idol was found there. Later the idol was brought to Mahua and installed in the Chandraprabha Digamabar Jain Mandir. This temple was destroyed in fire and floods in 1970 AD. The temple was then renovated and rebuilt. The other idols of Bhagawan Chandraprabha; Bhagwan Shantinatha; Bhagwan Mahavir, Bhagawan Adinath, and other Tirthanakara idols were installed.

What attracts attention, however, immediately after reaching the place is the mammoth, 31-foot-high statue of Bhagwan Bahubali was erected recently. It is difficult to know about the antiquity and period of this shrine. From idols, caves, water reservoirs, and inscriptions in semi-magadhi, and Ardha-Magadhi script found on this mountain, it becomes quite evident that the shrine is thousands of years old.

Shirdi: Sai Baba of Shirdi, also known as Shirdi Sai Baba, was an Indian spiritual master who was regarded by his devotees as a saint, fakir, and satguru, according to their individual proclivities and beliefs. He was revered by both his Hindu and Muslim devotees, and it was uncertain if he was a Hindu or a Muslim. This, however, was of no consequence to Sai Baba. He stressed the importance of surrendering to the true Satguru or Murshid, who, having trod the path to divine consciousness, will lead the disciple through the jungle of spiritual training. Sai Baba is worshipped by people around the world. He had no love for perishable things and his sole concern was the realization of the self. Overnight: Dharamshala / Hotel -

This Munisuvrata idol believed to belong to Chaturtha Kala (4th generation) is associated with many miracles.
