First visit to Lal Mandir

My first visit to Lal Mandir @ Manak Chowk, my family believe in this temple a lot. Every Jain temple has 'Mulnaayak', in simple words a chief God. Lord Aadinath is the mulnaayak of this temple, accompanied with many other theerthankars. The whole temple is painted in red (geru) and therefore called as Lal Mandir.

Another importance of this temple is Manbhadr Baba, he's believed to be Dadi's kul and ishth dev. Manbhadr Baba is also known as Khadagda Wale Baba. His place of worship and his idol is decorated beautifully.
