Abstract :

Shree Atishaya Kshetra (Distinguished place) Satavanidhi is located at a distance of three miles and a half towards the South from Nipani along the Nipani-Bangalore road precisely along Nipani-Sankeshwar National Highway No. 4.1 ‘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.
