Palitana panch tirthi
“Palitana panch tirthi” is not a fixed shastriya (scriptural) term of Jain Dharma.
In Jain tradition:
- Palitana = Shatrunjay Mahatirth
- On Shatrunjay hill there are many tonks and hundreds of derasars, but shastras and traditional Jain lists of tirths do not mention any special group officially called “Palitana Panch Tirthi”.
Usually, when people say “Palitana panch tirthi yatra”, they mean a special tour scheme made by a particular Jain Samaj or organization, in which they cover:
- Shatrunjay/Palitana
- plus 4 more nearby tirths
Because this is organizational and practical, not scriptural, the exact 5 tirths differ from group to group. To know the precise 5 places for your “panch tirthi”, you will need to check the brochure / details of the samaj or travel group arranging that yatra.
Dharma-wise, remember: For shastra and punya, treat Shatrunjay Palitana itself as Mahatirth, do yatra with:
- samyak darshan (right faith)
- pachchakhkhan (proper vows)
- and full shraddha towards Shri Adinath Bhagwan and all siddha-bhagwan.
