Shobhnath Jain Temple
शोभनाथ मंदिर
A memorial site marking the birthplace of Sambhavanatha, the third Jain tirthankara. A small domed shrine stands atop medieval brick temple foundations.
Shravasti is also a sacred site for Jains. According to tradition, Sambhavanatha, the third tirthankara of Jainism, was born here. The Shobhnath Temple site in the western part of Mahet is a medieval brick platform. Its top still holds a small domed structure in Islamic style, and early temple foundations can be seen around it. A newly built Jain temple nearby serves worshippers.
The site is open to visitors and can be toured together with the Buddhist stupas in Mahet. Shoes must be removed before entering the new temple, and leather goods should not be brought inside.
