Nalia tirtha is situated at a distance of some 97 kms. from Kutch-Bhuj.
There we come across a idol of Shri Chandraprabha Bhagavan; the idol of MULANAYAKA Bhagavan is white in complexion, almost 75 cms. in height. Since Nalia is one of the tirthas of the five in Abadasa, it has greater importance. The temple, with its sixteen peaks and fourteen festival squares is simply majestic. Again, in this Jina temple, architecture in gold is carved on stones. This is indeed a uniquely peculiar art. In the same way the glass- work overhere is really beautiful. InV.S. 1897, the majestic temple constructed by Narasimha Natha was religiously inaugurated. The name of Sheth Narasimha Natha is well-known due to the vast inn got constructed by him in Palitana. In the vicinity of this main templeagain, there is ShriAshtapadaji's unique temple constructed by Harabham Narsimha Natha in V.S. 1918. The inner apartments of all the three temples are separate, but the temple should be considered to be just one. In the frontal square of the temple, marble statues of Sheth Narasimha Natha and his wife are installed. Here, there are some 176 other Jina idols installed. There are again a total of 138 Shri SIDDHACHAKRAS-132 made of silver, 4 of metal and two of sandal-wood.

THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL SERVICES RUNNING DURING THE DAY BUT IT IS BEST TO CHECK WITH THE COMPANY FOR EXACT TIMINGS. THESE BUS COMPANIES ALL HAVE THEIR OFFICES AROUND PALDI IN AHMEDABAD; SWAMINARAYAN TRAVELS,SAHJANAND TRAVELS AND PATEL TRAVELS ARE THREE RECOMMENDED ONES, THOUGH THERE ARE OTHERS. THERE ARE ALSO PRIVATE SITTING (NON-SLEEPER) BUSES, AND ST (STATE TRANSPORT) BUSES THAT MAKE THE TRIP MORE CHEAPLY.
BY RAIL: TWO DAILY EXPRESS TRAINS; THE BHUJ EXPRESS AND THE KUTCH EXPRESS, TRAVEL FROM MUMBAI TO AHMEDABAD (8HRS) AND ON TO BHUJ (16HRS IN TOTAL.) HOWEVER, BOTH TRAINS PASS THROUGH AHMEDABAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, AS THE SCHEDULES ARE DESIGNED TO DEPART AND ARRIVE AT REASONABLE HOURS FROM BHUJ AND MUMBAI, NOT AHMEDABAD.

ONCE IN BHUJ, ST BUSES GO TO LARGER DESTINATIONS AROUND THE DISTRICT, PRIVATE JEEPS CAN ALSO BE RENTED (A GOOD OPTION FOR LARGER PARTIES), AND SOME SMALLER PLACES CAN ONLY BE REACHED BY CHHAKDAS /RIKSHAWS.
