Bada Gaon

Bada Gaon

Bada Gaon, is a village near Khekra, a town in the district of Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh. It is famous for a temple that houses an idol of Lord Parshvanath, the 23rd Tirthankara of Jainism. The idol was recovered from a local well, and the water of the well is reputed to have curative powers.

Its proximity to Delhi, has made it a prominent religious site. It is roughly 9 km from the Delhi-Saharanpur highway.

A new temple called Siddhant Kshetra is also coming up near the old temple.
