Malpura

The Dadabadi at Malpura is amongst the most visited Dadabadis. It is believed that Dada Gurudev Shri Jinkushalsuriji give his sight to his follower on a stone and it still has his footprint on that stone. Gurudev attained heavenly abode in Deraur (now in Pakistan), prior to which he stayed at Malpura (Rajasthan) and there he was having many followers. After hearing the sad news of his demise one of his followers couldn't believe the news and he commenced a three days fast, praying that he wants Gurudev to give him his sight. After three days Gurudev give him his sight and told him that now he is no more. The stone on which he give the man his sight still has the footmarks of Gurudev and is largely followed by the peoples including non Jains too. The Dadabadi here comprises a big Dadabadi with a huge temple. It also has the best accommodation facilities of all the Dadabadis in India. The nearest city is Jaipur which provides regular bus services for reaching here. Taxis are the best mode of transport to reach here.

Delhi

The Dadabadi in Delhi commonly known as Mehrauli Dadabadi is the place where Manidhari Dada Jinchandrasurishwarji was cremated. On finding his last moments close, he told his followers that when he died a 'Mani' would pop out of his head and this should be received in a bowl of milk; and also that while taking his body for the funeral the body should not be kept anywhere. On his attaining heavenly abode, everybody was so sad that they forgot Gurudev's instructions but a Muslim fakir remembered that and he kept a "Darshan" as he was also a big follower of Gurudev and the people set his body on ground for the purpose but as before stated the body didn't move, even elephants were used to try to move the body but all attempts failed and the last rites were performed right there, now known as Mehrauli Dadabadi. It's a very beautiful and big Dadabadi having a very beautiful glass temple and it also has a small creation of Shri Sammet Shikharji tirth.
