Tirths - Gujarat
Gujarat is a sacred heartland of Jainism, home to some of the most revered tirths that embody centuries of devotion, asceticism, and architectural brilliance. The majestic Shatrunjaya Hill in Palitana, with over 860 temples, stands as the holiest pilgrimage site for Śvētāmbara Jains, while Girnar Hill near Junagadh honors Neminath with ancient shrines nestled in its rugged ascent. Taranga’s intricately carved Ajitnath temple, Shankheshwar’s vibrant Parshwanath sanctum, and Mahudi’s unique Ghantakarna Mahavir shrine reflect the diversity of Jain worship. Sites like Songadh, Kumbhariya, and the Hutheesing Temple in Ahmedabad further enrich Gujarat’s spiritual landscape, blending devotion with artistry and offering pilgrims a profound journey toward liberation and inner peace.
