The Jal mandir is located on a lake created after the cremation of Lord Mahavira. Lord Mahavira was the last of the twenty-four Tirthankara. It is a very holy place for Jains as Lord Mahavira attained Nirvana here. This temple belongs to the Digambar sect of the Jain religion but both the sects including Svetambra have accepted the ground as the place where their founder, Guru and lord have attained salvation.
