Seven kilometers from Bhopal is the Manua bhan ki tekri, a Jain temple. An important place of pilgrimage for devotees, the Tekri enshrines an idol of Shri Man Bhadarji.
An old manuscript carved in stone, situated at the Simha Gate of the temple is another point of interest.
The language of the carvings is yet to be deciphered. It is also said to be the Sadhana Sthali of the Oswal Dynasty.
A big fair organised here during Karthik Purnima draws scores of people from far and near.
Being a famous pilgrimage place for peoples, this place should be well maintained, but due to the negligence of tourism department and BMC no one is taking care to keep this place neat and clean.
