About
Antarikṣa Pārśvanātha Tīrtha is a Jain temple in Shirpur (Jain) town in Akola district, Maharashtra, India. Most popular for the main deity which is supposedly a 'floating' black-colored idol of Parshvanatha, the 23rd Tirthankara, this temple has been a center of devotion for Jains as well as of disputes between the Digambara and Śvetāmbara sect of Jainism. The main deity at this temple is one of the 108 most prominent idols of Pārśvanātha worshipped by Śvetāmbaras, and is also very sacred to Digambaras.
