Do ppl visit palitana on akhatreej
Yes, many Jains visit Palitana on Akhatrij (Akshaya Tritiya), especially because it is a highly sacred day in Jain tradition.
In Jain Dharma, Akhatrij is remembered as the day linked with Bhagwan Rishabhanatha’s first ahara-daan after his long penance. Because of this, many devotees consider it an auspicious day for dharma, dān, tapas, and yatra.
At Palitana, devotees often come for:
- darshan
- puja
- tirth yatra
- observance of vrats and charity
It is usually a very active and spiritually important time there.
