Semliya is a small village/hamlet 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of Namli in Ratlam district in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

According to legend, before Vir Sawant (933, 1700 AD) the four foundation pillars traveled through immense skies during the tantrik war and landed on earth via Yatiji.

Every year during the festival of the Lord's birth, thousands of devotees come to the temple and extract some part of the percolation onto money bills, clothing, etc.

According to texts, Acharya Jinkushalsuri (founder of the clan Khattargachh) marched a sangha from Jaisalmer to Mandav 9,000 years ago.

Five hundred forty five years ago, Acharya Lakshmisagarsuri visited Semliya with his sangha and erected three other idols, one of which is a tirthankar Adinath under a kalpvraksha tree sitting on a peacock surrounded by a serpent.

In order to locate and secure the site of Temple, the ruler Acharya envisioned in meditation an idol of a god wearing a crown and smirking while riding a lion with a drum in his right hand, an ewer in his left hand, a knife in his waistband with many ancient symbols embossed on it, a beast under its right leg and a small animal near its left foot.

Noteworthy is the Agarji Shantinath temple in Ratlam, which was protected at the time of the expedition by those who erected towers overnight.

The idol feline cats are still intact after recent renovation, funded by 50 lakhs Sadhus (the shravaks), who had provided large donations maintained in perpetuity.
