Mahudi Jain Temple is situated in Mahudi town in Mansa taluka of Gandhinagar district, Gujarat. It is a pilgrimage centre for Śvetāmbara Jains and other communities who visit the temple of Jain deity, Ghantakarna Mahavir and of the 6th Tirthankara, Padmaprabh. It was known as Madhupuri historically.[1]
Mahudi Jain Temple was established by Śvetāmbara Jain monk, Buddhisagarsuri[1] in 1917 CE (Maghsar Sudi 6, Vikram Samvat 1974). There is an inscription in Brahmi script. In 1916 CE, the foundation stone was laid on land donated by Vadilal Kalidas Vora. He, along with Punamchand Lallubhai Shah, Kankkuchand Narsidas Mehta, and Himmatlal Hakamchand Mehta became trustees of a trust established to manage the temple. The central deity of this temple is a 22-inch marble idol of Padmaprabh. There is a separate shrine dedicated to Ghantakarna Mahavir, the protector deity. The Guru Mandir, a shrine dedicated to Buddhisagarsuri was established later.
Devotees offer sukhadi, a sweet to Ghantakarna Mahavir. After offering a part of it, the remaining is consumed by devotees within the temple complex. Tradition forbids the carrying away of such offerings outside premises.[1]
Every year, on Kali Chaudas (the fourteenth day of the dark half of the month of Aso), numerous devotees visit the Ghantakarna Mahavir temple to attend a religious ceremony, Havan.[1]
