Śikharjī — Where Twenty Tīrthaṅkaras Attained Mokṣa
Madhuvan (base village) · Giridih · Jharkhand
Shikharji on Mount Parasnath in Jharkhand is the holiest site in Jainism — the place where twenty of the twenty-four Tīrthaṅkaras attained mokṣa (liberation). It is the apex of Jain pilgrimage, a 27 km circuit of 20 shrines on a forested hilltop, each marking the liberation site of a Tīrthaṅkara.

A moment of pilgrimage
Even from afar, turn the mind toward Shikharji — The Peak of Salvation. If you have visited — or hope to — let one detail of the place (a gopuram, a river, a courtyard) become today's anchor.
