Vataman or Vataman Chowkdi is a small village in the western state of Gujarat in India located at a crossroads about an hour and a half from Ahmedabad or Amdavad airport on the road to Palitana. There is a beautiful Jain derasar dedicated to the Bhagwans (God) Adinath or Rishabha that was consecrated with great fanfare and devotion by Anilaben and Sureshbhai Bapalalbhai Shah of Palanpur and Mumbai in April 2003. The main temple also houses statues of Mahaviraswami, Parashvanathswami, Vasupujyaswami and Kunthunathswami.
