Tijara Jain Temple (Hindi: तिजारा जैन मन्दिर) is a Jain temple dedicated to eighth Tirthankar Chandraprabhu. The temple is located in the hill town Tijara, in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, India. It is an Atishaya Kshetra. It is 55 kilometres from Alwar and 110 kilometres from Delhi. The location is a pilgrimage site for the Jains and a tourist attraction. Tijara is one the most historic place from the Vedic Yug. Name of Tijara was derived from "Raja Tejpal" descendent of Anangpal Tomar. The Tomars are the desecendent of Raja Tejpal.The mention of Tijara is found in the book, 'Mirat ul Masaud', which relates how Saiyad Ibrahim Mashhadi Barah Hazari (died 421 AH / 1030 AD), an officer of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni, in A.H. 420 (A.D. 1030) attacked Dhundgarh near Rewari, the Raja of which fled to his kinsman Tej Pal of Rewari. The latter, in a night attack, killed Saiyad Ibrahim, but his disciple Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud compelled Tej Pal to fly to Tijara, where, in a battle, three relatives of Salar were killed. The tombs of some associates of Syed Mohammad Dost (Nana Barah Hazari), Rukn Alam Shaheed, Roshan Shaheed and Bhakan Shaheed in and around the town of Tijara are now places of pilgrimage. Another tomb of the cousin of Saiyad Ibrahim Mashhadi (Barah Hazari), Syed Hameeduddin can also been seen at Kot Qasim (20 km away from Tijara), who was going as injured after the battle of Tijara to Rewari. A sanad (decree conferring title of property) of Akbar's time speaks of "Tijara Shahbad" as though they were the principal towns of a district. Also in the Ain-i-Akbari of Mughal King Akbar we have mention of the Khanzadas and a Thathar Rajput tribe living in Tijara where they occupied a brick fort along with 405,108 biggas of land of which the annual revenue was rs 11,906,847. The tribe had 400 cavalry and 2000 infantry soldiers at its disposal. History bears the testimony of the fact that Dehra -Tijara was a well-developed region. The discovery of the image of Shri 1008 Bhagwan Chandraprabhu in 1956 has a remarkable history. In ancient time Tijara was a prosperous city and was the centre place of Jains. The place where the warship of Jain Idols takes place is called Dehra. So at some time Dehra Tijara was the centre of Jain community & Jain Temples, which was destroyed by invaders in the middle period of Indian History. Though, this tirth kshetra is famous as “Atishay Kshetra” but no specific “Atishay story” is found in the history. The story of atishay is that Mrs. Saraswati Devi wife of Vaidya Shri Bihari Lal of Tijara kept fast of three days. At the night of 3rd day, Mrs. Saraswati Devi saw a dream and came to know about the place where the idol may be found. According to dream in the next morning, this miraculous idol of Bhagwan Chandra Prabhu was discovered. From the time of appearance of Jain Idols, hidden under the earth, this area is now forwarding towards prosperity. At the time of discovery of this idol, the rain started after digging and thus consecration of idol took place naturally. While according to local people that in 1956, the excavation work was taken up for widening of the roads. while digging, a small "Talghar" was found. Late Smt. Saraswati Devi W/o Late Biharilal jain discovered an idol on Shravan Shukla Dashmi (16:08:1956). This image bears the date "vaishakh shukla 3, 1554 vikram samvat".

Just speechless one can feel the presence of god

Beautiful temple, really you would like it. Famous for its glass work. Those who come to Tijara Jain mandir, also worship here. Must visit and see its beauty. Difficult to locate, no proper signboards. Mandir is well maintained. Main Mandir is on the first floor. May not able to reach by car. Not very far from Tijara famous Jain Mandir. Do visit, you will be impressed by its beauty. Bhagwan idol is very old.

A Jain tourist place. Great glass work and interior design. One can sought peace here.
