This Jain Temple which is also called as Parshvamani Parshvanath Jain Theerth is located on the left side of the main road leading from Manthralayam to Adhoni. The village where this massive Mandhir is built is called as Pedda Thumbalam or Petta Thumbalam. This Temple has been built by few Rajasthan based Devotees. The Presiding Deity is Parshvamani Parshvanath. The other Deities located here are Adhinath, Mahavir Swamy, Padmavathy Matha Ji and Shanthi Nath. There are Idols for Gods and Goddesses like Ganesha, Saraswathi, Lakshmi, Dhurga, Kala Bhairava and Gora Bhairava too. It is said that most of the Idols where dug out from the Earth here and hence the Rajasthanis wanted to remove them and build a Temple in Rajasthan, but the local people of Pedda Thumbalam village requested them not to do so, but instead build a Temple locally. It is believed that the Idols were found around 30 years ago but the main Deity was kept on the rostrum and consecrated in the year 2008.
