History

 
Bijolia inscription

Bijolia is famous for two rock inscriptions, both dated 1170 CE (V. S. 1226).[1] One inscription provides the genealogy of the Chahamanas of Shakambhari and the second is a Jaina poem called Uttama Sikhara Purana. The first inscription opens with salutation to Parshvanatha and records coronation of Somesvara. The third verse of inscription describes how Someshvara gave the grant to build Parshvanatha temple in Rewna village.[2][3][4] The latter inscription, engraved near the door of the Parsvanatha temple, records the homage of Manoratha, son of Mahidhara.[5] According to Jain tradition, this place is believed to be where the Uttama Sikhara Purana was composed.[6][7][8][9]

According to Peter Flügel, the Undeshvar Shiva temple of Bijolia was originally a Śvētāmbara temple based on carvings of prominent Jain figures in the temple exterior.[10]
