Champapur-A
Glorious Past |
|
In Jain
mythology, it is believed that Anga was one of the
52 Janpads(States)
which were established by Lord Rishabhdev. It is believed that Champapur (also
known as Champapuri, Champa, Champanagari) was the
capital of Angadesh
(comprising Bhagalpur and Mongher). 20 Tirthankars attained
salvation from Sri
sammed shikhar and Lord Vasupujya from Champapur and Lord Mahavir
from
Pawapur,Lord Adinath from Kailash and Lord Neminath from Girnar.
According
to different jain books and puranas Champapur
has the unique distinction of
having " Samosaran vihar of all
24 Tirthankars", thus making the soil
most sacred by the presence of their
Lordship and making the hearts of the masses
most pure by disseminating "Divya Dhwani" " Divine
Voice"from time to time.
Further,In the literature of all the languages viz.- Shorsheni,
Ardhamagadhi , Pali,
Sanskrit,and Apbhrans,there is description of Champanagari-capital of
Angadesh
as one of the important centers of religion,culture, spiritual
activities. In the olden
days, the kings like Kunik,chandrachhaur,Jitshatru etc.were followers of
jainism.
Jain purans reveal that Lord Mahavir with Indrabhut Gautam Gandhar
etc. and
Jambo swami with sudharsanswami visited Champapur more than once
and gave
sermon to the masses. It is this sacred place where Satichandana has
given Ahar
to Bhagwan Mahavir.Champapur has been the most important centre of
religious
discourses, spiritual activities and cultural functions. |

It is firmly believed that this temple
is very old. This temple is said to be constructed by Sanghvi Sri
Dutta & his wife Sanghvin Surjai (of Jaipur)
in Yudhistir Samvat 2559 (541 B.C.). These Sthumbs
are the evidence of legendary story
that there were tunnels beneath
these sthumbs leading to
chandraprabha tonk Summed Shikharji & Mandar Hill.
