Are phones allowed at Palitana?

Short answer: No. Phones are not allowed inside the Palitana Shatrunjaya temple complex; if you visit during a yatra, you should keep mobiles switched off or refrain from using them. Photography is typically prohibited inside the temples. This practice aligns with the Jain emphasis on quiet, respectful darshan and inner focus during pilgrimage. For a yatra day like Fagun Sud Teras, you’ll notice stricter observance of these norms.
