Shri Shantinath Digambar Jain Atishaya Kshetra, Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh India

Shri Shantinath Digamber Jain Atishaya Kshetra Sinhoniyaji is an Atishaya Kshetra (Place of Miracles). Sinhoniya is an ancient city established by ancestors of King Surajsen, the founder of Gwalior City, 2000 years ago. The king had sound faith in Jain Dharma. He constructed a big Jain Temple in Gwalior Fort and a temple in Sinhoniya. It is said that there were 11 Jain Temples at Sinhoniya established by Jaiswal Jains in 4th – 5th century. This city was under the influence of Jains up to 10th century. Latter on this place was ruined by Muslim invaders, temples & idols were destroyed.

A celibate Shri Gumani Ramji dreamed in a night approximately 75 years ago that several idols are hidden under a hillock. According the dream he searched the proper place in the next morning and dug there. He got three standing idols of Bhagwan Shantinath 16 feet, Kunthunath 10 feet & Arahnath 10 feet. As the news spread, devotees started to come there, so many miracles happened. After some time a magnificent temple was built there, the three idols are still standing at the same place where they were found from the earth. So many idols are still found here & there at Sinhoniya, many idols are displayed in museum in the temple. Newly constructed magnificent Samavsharan Mandir, Neminath Dig. Jain Mandir & Chaubeesee Mandir is worth being seen. Panch Kalyanaka Pratishtha of these temples has taken place during 18 Feb. 2003 to 24 Feb. 2003.
