Thoda dhyān dene layak baatein

• Yeh pratha mukhyataḥ Shwetambar paramparā mein chalti hai, jo Shatrunjay Giriraj yatra se judi hai.
• Digambar paramparā mein bhi Shatrunjay ki bahut mahima hai, lekin unka poojan‑vidhi aur paath alag ho sakta hai; ye 5 same chaityavandan har jagah aise nahin gaye jaate.
• In 5 Chaityavandan ka mukhya uddeshya:

- Shatrunjay Giriraj ki mahima ko yaad rakhna, - Tirthankarōn aur Siddhon ki sadhana se prerit hona, - Apne andar vinay, shraddhā aur aatma‑shuddhi ka bhav jagana.

Shatrunjay tirth ki mahima aur itihaas ke baare mein aur padhna ho to aap yahan dekh sakte hain

Isi vishay par ek prashn–uttar bhi uplabdh hai

Agar aap chahen to main har ek chaityavandan ka arth (arth/kathā‑roop mein) alag‑alag bahut saral bhasha mein likh kar bhi de sakta hoon.
