01 — The story

The Vahelna Jain temple, formally Shri 1008 Parshvnath Digamber Jain Atishye Kshetra, stands in Vahelna village in Muzaffarnagar district, Uttar Pradesh. It is an important historical and religious site for Jains.

The main image is of Lord Parshvanatha seated in the padmasana posture, and the temple has a manastambha along with a 31-foot statue in its outer garden. The campus also offers naturopathy treatment for patients. The temple's annual day falls on 2 October, when a fair and a procession draw thousands of people.
