Address :
Shri Adinath Jain Shwetamber Mandir, Lotana, Tahsil : Pindwara,
District-Sirohi, Rajasthan,
India, Pincode : 307023.

The tirth is situated on a hillock near the Lotana Village which is located at a distance of 20 Kilometers from the Railway Station of Shirohi Road in Rajasthan. Here we have an idol of Mulnayak Shri Adishvar Bhagavan which is white in complexion, 75 cm in height and in padmasana posture with beautiful psrikar. The tirth is an ancient one, the idol of Shri Adishvara Prabhu is majestic and unique. It is important because it belongs to the time of the 13th renovation of Shri Shatrunjaya Tirtha. The idol with unequal art is rare to come across anywhere else.

The ancient name of Lotana Village is Latipurapattana or Lotanaka. One idol in standing posture ( Kayotsarga Idol ) is found carved an inscription of V. S. 1144 (1087 CE). On two other idols of the same type is found a writing of the fifth day of the month Jeth of V. S. 1130 (1073 CE). From this it is learnt that the installation of this idol was undertaken and completed by Durlabha, the son of Koreshvara. The idol of Shri Adishvara Prabhu belongs to the period of the 13th renovation of the Shatrunjaya Mahtirtha. It is also said that it was brought from Shatrunjaya and ceremoniously installed here.

The last renovation took place in V. S. 2016 (1959 CE). The temple has the main inner apartment, a deep enclosed Pandal, Six Chowkis, Assembly Pandal, Peak, Shrungara Chowki and a fort. Situated as the temple is on a hillock near the Lotana Village, the atmosphere round the temple is simply delightful indeed.
