Shri Mandavgarh Teerth is situated in Mandavgarh Fort, on the Vindhya Range. The temple is dedicated to Shri Suparshwanath Bhagvan. A white stone idol of Shri Suparshwanath Bhagvan in the padmasana posture is present inside the sanctum sanctorum. The temple is managed by a trust called Shri Jain Shwetambar Teerth Pedhi.
It is white in complexion, 91.54 cms in height and in Padmansana posture. This idol is older than the fourteenth century. It is said that once upon a time there were 700 Jina temples here and a population of more than six lakh Jainas. Religious fervour was so very keen here that whenever a new Jain came to reside here, every Jain house would give one gold coin and one brick to him. In the period between the 13th and the 17th centuries, so many powerful and influential ministers happened to live here.
