Jirawala is a village in Sirohi District of Rajasthan state in India. It lies 58 km from Abu Road. It is a holy place for Jain. There is a famous Jain temple complex in the village. The main Parsvanatha temple is the oldest dating back to 1134 AD. There is a temple with image of Neminatha, too. These temples were attacked and desecrated during Muslim rule but were later renovated by the Jain community. The village was a place of pilgrimage for Jains. Many Jain saints and scholars visited the place and composed the religious books there during the fifteenth century.
