Pārśvanātha at Sammet Śikharjī

This entry honours the self-representation of Jain tradition. India's sacred landscape includes hundreds of traditions beyond the Brahminical-Vedic canon — Jain, Buddhist, Sikh, Sufi Muslim, Zoroastrian, tribal Gondi/Bhil/Khasi, and many more. Each has its own cosmology, theology, ethical system, and sacred geography. Each deserves first-person recognition, not assimilation. - Location: Shikharji, Giridih, Jharkhand (23.975°N, 86.1367°E) - Tradition: Jain / Śvetāmbara / Digambara
