    How to go to digamber temple in girnar to shvetambar temple in girnar

    10 months ago 179

    In Girnar, the Digambar and Shvetambar Jain temples are quite close to each other. It depends where you are standing:

    ---

    1. If you are at the base (Taleti)

    At the starting point of the climb (Taleti):

    • There is one Shvetambar derasar and one Digambar derasar at or near the base itself.
    • They are on the same approach road to Girnar steps.
    • You can simply walk from one to the other in a few minutes – ask any shopkeeper or local:
    - Say: “Shvetambar derasar kya hai?” or “Digambar derasar kya hai?”
    • No special vehicle is needed; you can walk easily.

    ---

    2. If you are on the mountain (near main Shvetambar Neminath temple)

    Most pilgrims first reach the large Shvetambar Neminath Bhagwan temple complex (big enclosed courtyard / “tunk”).

    From there to Digambar temple:

    1. Stand facing the main Shvetambar Neminath temple in the big compound.
    2. Ask for “Digambar derasar / Rajul Gufa waalo raasto” – all locals, sevaks, and pujaris know it.
    3. There is a side path with steps leading to the small Digambar temple and Rajul gufa area (on the same mountain, a short walk, not another full climb).
    4. Walking time is usually 10–20 minutes, depending on your speed.

    From Digambar temple back to Shvetambar:

    • Just return on the same path of steps and you come back to the big Shvetambar complex.

    ---

    3. Practical tips

    • There are no vehicles between the temples on the steps – only walking or doli (palkhi).
    • Signboards are mostly in Gujarati/Hindi, so the safest and quickest way is:
    - Ask: “Neminath Shvetambar mandir ka raasta?” or - “Digambar Jain mandir ka raasta?”
    • If you start your yatra from one side, you can take darshan of both sect temples in the same trip without coming back down to Junagadh.

    This is a very small local distance; once you are at Girnar, any local person will guide you easily from Digambar to Shvetambar temple and back.
