- The most widely cited tradition holds that the majority (about 20) Tirthankaras attained moksha at Shikharji (Sammed Shikharji, Parasnath Hills). A few are associated with other mountains (for example, Rishabhanatha with Ashtapada, Neminatha with Girnar, Vasupujya with Champapuri, and Mahavira with Pavapuri). Different Jain traditions (Digambara vs. Śvetāmbara) sometimes differ in minor details or emphasis, but the core sacred sites and the general pattern are preserved.
