sinhpuri tirth varanasi uttar pradesh
Sinhpuri Tirth, also called Sinhpuri Shreyansnath Kalyank Bhumi, is a Jain pilgrim site in the Varanasi region of Uttar Pradesh. It is associated with the birth of the 11th Tirthankara, Shreyanshnath, and is counted among the Prachin (ancient) tirths of Varanasi. The site is located in Hiramanpur, Varanasi district (not far from Sarnath). It is visited by both Digambar and Śvētāmbara Jains as part of their tirth-yatra in the Varanasi area.
- For context, Varanasi area hosts several tirths such as the Varanasi Parshwanath, Chandrapuri Chandraprabhaswami, and Bhadaini Suparshwanath kalyank bhumis, in addition to Sinhpuri Shreyansnath. ( prachintirth.org)
Note on traditions:
- There are places in and around Varanasi asserting Shreyanshnath-related tirths from both Digambar and Śvētāmbara traditions, and local maṭh-sanghs often maintain separate sites or lineages within the same broader tirth landscape. The core spiritual focus of Sinhpuri Shreyansnath remains the worship of Bhagwan Shreyanshnath and remembrance of his life and teachings, in line with Jain tradition.
