The Ghee Boli Tonks

he main shila of six Tonks – five of the Bhagwaans whose pratimaji is dedicated in the Main Temple, and Shri Gautam Swami – is being done through Ghee Boli (bidding). The minimum bid is $11,000 (this was the nakra for all other 24 Tonks). Ghee boli of the main shila of Bhagwaan Shantinathji has been finalized at $45,000. Bidding for others is open for a very short time now!!

All Ghee Boli Tonks are located in exceptionally beautiful settings.

Bhagwaan Mahavira Swami

The Tonk of Bhagwaan Mahavira Swami (Tonk #26) is right before the Main Temple and is likely the most visited spot in Siddhachalam.

Shri Gautam Swami

Bhagwaan Gautam Swami’s Tonk (Tonk #1) is the first upon entering Siddhachalam

(Siddhachalam will become one-way, with direct entrance from Hope Road, effective August 6, 2011). It is on top of a beautiful plateau with majestic views of the entire neighborhood and temple area.
