 Shri Bhanduka (Bhadravati) Tirtha  
The Tirtha is situated in a vast garden in the vicinity of Bhadravati village. Here is installed an idol of MULANAYAKA Shri Kesariya Parshvanath Bhagavan. It is black in complexion, 152 cms in height and in semi-padmasana posture. The remnants found here indicate that this tirtha must be very old; but how old, it is not deciphered. Till the last century half of the idol of Shri Parshvanath Bhagavan was buried in the ground. People therefore knew it as Kesariababa, and applied vermilion on it. Thereafter, the Shvetambara Jain Sanghas requested the Government to hand over to them the temple that was in Government custody. The Government conceded and thereafter the Shri Sangha got the tirtha repaired and renovated. Again in V.S.
1966, on the fifth day of the bright half of the month of Maha, the manager of Shri Anatariksha tirtha Shri Chaturbhujabhai had a dream. Nagadevta gave DARSHAN to him and he received divine orders to get the tirtha renovated. Shri Chaturbhuj inquired about the spot and while he roamed all-around, he came to this tirtha-spot. He talked to the Shri Prabhu of this tirtha is known as Shri Svapanadeva Kesariya Parshvanath Bhagavan. On the idol of Jina acquired from here, we get an inscription of V.S. 1133. Every year, on the tenth day of the dark half of Margashirsha, a fair is held here and devotees with deep faith come here for DARSHAN from far-off places. There are also two other temples here of Adishvara Bhagavan and Shri Guru.
