Shri Munisuvratnath Digambar Jain Atishaya Kshetra




Shri Munisuvratnath Digambar Jain Atishaya is a Jain temple at Keshorai Patan, Rajasthan. It lies on the banks of Chambal River and is dedicated to Bhagvan Munisuvratnath, the 20th Tirthankar.

The idol in Padmasana posture is about 4.5 ft high and is dark green in color. This paragon is carved out from a flat rock with three tiered umbrella over head and a halo in the back. Numerous idols of the 13th century are seen in the temple.

This temple too was attacked and plundered by Mohammed Ghori. Legend has it that when he tried to uproot the idol, milk flowed from it. Marks of the attack can be still seen in the temple.
