Godiji Parshwanath (Hindi: श्री गोडीजी पार्श्वनाथ) is the name given to several images of the Tirthankara Parshvanantha in India, and to the temple where it is the main deity (mulanayaka). Parshwanath was the 23rd Tirthankara who attained nirvana in 777 BCE. All these images and temples belong to the Śvetāmbara sect of Jainism.
The original image, about 1.5 feet (0.46 m) high, was at Gori in Tharparkar district of Pakistan. The original temple still stands, but is empty.[1] It is in village of Gori between Islamkot and Nagarparkar.[2]
