SHREE PAWAPURI JAIN TIRTH
Located 38 kilometers from Rajgir in Nalanda district and 90 kilometers from Patna(capital of Bihar), Pawapuri is considered to be a holy site for Jains and is also known as Apapuri (“the sinless town”).
Around 500 BC, Lord Mahavira, the last of the 24 Tirthankaras achieved Moksha or Nirvana (Salvation from the endless cycle of life and death) at Pawapuri and was cremated here. Devotees rushed here to collect his ashes which resulted in a lot of soil being removed from the place, making way for a pond.
Currently, the Jalmandir, an exquisite marble temple in the middle of a lotus pond, stands magnificently on a rectangular island. Samosharan is another Jain temple that exists in this vicinity, where Lord Mahavira delivered teaching. It also has the Nirvan Mandir which is main temple where lord Mahaveer gave his last teaching.
