Bijolia Parshvanath Temple

Bijolia Parshvanath Temple, also called Tapodaya Teerth Kshetra, is a Jain pilgrimage centre in Bijolia town, Bhilwara district, Rajasthan. Five Jain temples were built here in 1160 CE by Mahajan Lala, in the reign of the Chahamana king Somesvara. The group follows a Panchayatana arrangement, with a principal shrine and four subsidiary shrines, and a kund also forms part of the complex.

Bijolia is famous for two rock inscriptions dated 1170 CE. One sets out the genealogy of the Chahamanas of Shakambhari; the other, near the door of the Parshvanatha temple, is a Jain poem called the Uttama Sikhara Purana, believed in Jain tradition to have been composed here. The inscription in the temple compound is a Monument of National Importance under the care of the Archaeological Survey of India. Nearby are the Mandakini reservoir and the Mahakal, Hazareshwar and Undeshwar temples.
