    jain pilgrimage tirth names

    8 months ago 240

    Here are some of the most well-known Jain pilgrimage tirths (places sacred for many Jain traditions):

    • Sammed Shikharji (Shikharji) – Jharkhand. A major tirth for many Digambar and Shwetambar Jains; revered as the place where many Tirthankaras attained Moksha.
    • Shatrunjaya (Palitana) – Palitana, Gujarat. Famous for its vast temple complex atop the Shatrunjaya hills; a key pilgrimage site for followers of both Digambar and Shwetambar traditions.
    • Girnar – Junagadh district, Gujarat. Ancient tirth with multiple sacred temples; significant for both Digambar and Shwetambar communities.
    • Kundalpur – near Vaishali, Bihar. Birthplace of Lord Mahavira; a central refuge for many Jains, especially in the Digambar tradition.
    • Shravanabelagola – Karnataka. Renowned hill with the colossal Gomateshwara statue; an important pilgrimage site for Jains, especially in the Digambar tradition.
    • Mount Abu (Dilwara temples) – Rajasthan. Famous Jain temple complex on the hill; a popular pilgrimage stop for many Jains.
    • Mahudi – near Gandhinagar, Gujarat. A noted shrine with the Bhagwan Vallabhacandra (often associated with Shankheshwar lineage) and a strong devotional presence.
    • Shankheshwar – Patan district, Gujarat. Renowned for the Sahastrabahu Parshwanath temple; a major site for the Shwetambar community in particular.
    • Ajitnath/Bagdana – Bagdana, Gujarat. Birthplace of Ajitnath and a well-visited temple complex.
    • Taranga (Tarangaji) – near Idar, Gujarat. An ancient and highly venerated hill shrine with a grand temple.

    If you’d like, tell me which region (India-wide?) or which Jain tradition (Digambar or Shwetambar) you’re focusing on, and I can tailor the list to what that tradition especially emphasizes.
