Gajpantha  Pilgrims on their way up to Gajpantha: a small group of caves and temples sanctified by Jaina saints who chose this lonely-now regrettably denuded - hill for dying a religious death.

Maharashtra After little-known Tamilnadu as far as holy Jaina places are con rashtra also revealed itself as another state good for the unexpected. Even our first destination, the village of Anjaneri, just some hours drive north of Bombay, yielded a surprising find. ned Anjaneri is a small village off a secondary road about twenty-four kilometres...

27. Jaina Culture

Though Jainas form a small minority at present, yet in the past they were not only numerous but also enjoyed royal patronage for a...

22. Tirakkol

jambudweep
Tirakkol The Jaina sights of Tirakkol a remote ham- let about 25 km north of Gingee - deserve to be seen twice: once well before noon, and another time in the afternoon. To get there, take a bus at Gingee bound for the market town of Desur. On arrival ask your way to the Jaina...
