BIJOLIA INSCRIPTION PARSVNATH TEMPLE
Photo
Bijolian (Vindhyavali) is famous for two rock inscriptions, both dated A.D. 1170. One inscription provides the genealogy of the Chahamanas of Ajmer and the other is a Jaina poem called Uttama Sikhara Purana. This latter inscription, incised near the shrine door of the temple of Parsvanatha, records the obeisance of Manoratha, son of Mahidhara. This spot gained such a wide reputation and became so holy to the Digambara Jainas that a mythological treatise called the Uttama Sikhara Purana was composed and engraved on a large rock nearby.
