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

    8 months ago 141

    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.
