Bada Gaon, is a village near Khekra, a town in the district of Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh. It is famous for a temple that houses an idol of Lord Parshvanath, the 23rd Tirthankara of Jainism. The idol was recovered from a local well, and the water of the well is reputed to have curative powers.
Its proximity to Delhi, has made it a prominent religious site. It is roughly about 29 km from Dilshad Garden (East Delhi) and one can go from either State Highway 57 or Loni-Bhopura Road.
A new temple called Siddhant Kshetra is also coming up near the old temple.
