Jinalaya - "Holy place of Jinnendra Dev”. Within the idol of the temple, devotees keep their reverence alive and keep them in their mind through their faith. As soon as entering the Jinalaya, the soul experiences pleasure and peace, the sins are converted into virtuous classes.
Positive thinking starts taking place of the negative thinking. We get filled with the spirit of spirituality with ethics and originality, and this paves the way for the soul to become divine.

Ramtek kshetr
If Ramtek word is literally interpreted, then it implies that the place where Shri Rama ji stayed. This region has been the work field for Lord Rama, Mahakavi Kalidas and kings of the Bhosale dynasty. The Ramchandra ji's resting place during his exile period has got Ramtek name from the eternity.
In the background of beauty, the two mountains where Kalidas had composed Meghdoot are here. The superstructure of the Shri 1008 Shantinath Digambar Jain Ahishaya Kshetra created by the Bhosale kings has been the center of attraction.
