The Jain Mandir Salawa is an ancient Jain temple built in the old town of Salawa. The town itself was raised during the time of Rishabhdeva, the first Jain Tirthankara. Coincidentally, Salawa is considered to be an important religious and spiritual destination for Jain pilgrims and followers.

It is also the birthplace of several important Jain Tirthankaras such as Shantinatha, Kunthunath and Arahanatha.
