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.
