Manas Mandir




Manas Mandir is situated just two and a half km away from Mahuli Village. It is known as Shri Shatrunjay Teerthdham Bhuvanbanu Manas Mandiram. The spire of the temple is 108 ft high. The three-ton pure brass statue of Lord Mahavir is a specialty.

The old temple is located a few meters away from the mandir. It houses 500 to 700 year old marble statues, excavated from a farmer’s land in Gujarat. There is a 100-year-old banyan tree in the backyard of the old temple. Over 60 snakes are said to reside in the tree. An art gallery housing illustrations related to Jainism is also attached to the new temple.

Mumbai International Airport is the nearest (92 km).
