Why this kshetra
An Atishay Kshetra of Bhagwan Vimalnath
Devotees have come to this murti for generations, and those who sit before it say its expression changes through the day: a smile in the morning, stillness at noon, a smile again by evening. That is the atishay this kshetra is named for.

Panch Parameshthi
The five supreme beings, and the five colours of the Jain flag.
