Trilok Teerth Dham was initiated by Jain Aacharya Sanmati Sagar near the Parshvanatha temple, Badagaon. The temple construction was completed in 2015.[1]
Trilok Teerth Dham is built in the shape of Jain emblem.[4] The temple structure is the representation of trilok (three lokas) of the Jain cosmology i.e. Adholok, Madhyalok and Urdhvalok. The temple architecture reflect features of Sultanate and Mughal architecture, such as, structure and symmetric arrangement of the four towers in the corner. However, instead of dome or a tower, these four corner tower are built around geometrical shape of the cosmos.[5]
This temple also has a 108 feet Manasthamb (tower of pride).
