Original shetrunjay tirth
Shatrunjay (Shatrunjaya) Tirth is the holiest Jain pilgrim site, located on Shatrunjaya hill near Palitana in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat. It is a vast hilltop complex with hundreds of marble temples dedicated to Tirthankaras, and is especially revered for its Tilokas, or temple clusters, atop the hill.
Key points:
- Both Digambar and Śvetāmbara Jains venerate Shatrunjaya; the site’s temples are central to Jain pilgrimage.
- The temples on the hill were built and expanded over many centuries, with the most prominent clusters concentrated near the summit.
- The most celebrated Tirthankaras enshrined here include Rishabhanatha (Adinath) and Mahavira, among others.
If you’d like, I can share traditional prayers or hymns associated with Shatrunjaya, along with their meanings, in a format faithful to Jain sources.
