Bawangaja, Jain temple complex in Barwani, India

The main temple contains an 84-foot stone statue of Rishabhdeva, carved from a single brown stone block in the Satpura mountains.

The temple underwent restoration in Vikram Samvat 1979, costing 59,000 rupees, with galleries constructed on both sides to protect the structure.

The temple hosts religious ceremonies like Mahamastakabhisheka, where devotees pour water, milk, and saffron over the central statue.

Visitors can reach the temple through regular bus services from Indore, Ujjain, Khandwa, and Baroda, with the nearest railway station 160 kilometers away.

The monumental statue features specific measurements, including 46-foot-long arms, a 26-foot head circumference, and 13-foot-9-inch feet.
