‘Atishaya' here means important or significant or, so to say, a place where holy and supernatural
events occurred. 'Stava' means praise of virtues and 'Nidhi' means stock or collection. Thus emanated the
name 'Stavanidhi'. The place is also known as 'Tavandi' which is a combination of 'Tava' means penance and
'-di' means stock. This place is the abode of pious Jain Tirthankars (saints) Vrushabhnath, Shantinath and
Parshwanath. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Chandravadan Naik, (2012). ATISHAYA KSHETRA (DISTINGUISHED PLACE) STAVANIDHI. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. II, Issue.
