34. Karanja

jambudweep
Karanja  Karanja: Balatkara Gana Mandir. A sample of the superb wood-carvings to be marvelled at in this seldom mentioned temple. Its other treasures -- icons in both stone and metal - are of an equally high standard. Karanja, a town of around $1,000 inhabitants of which c.4500 are Jainas, is another place in Maharashtra State...

33. Muktagiri

jambudweep
Muktagir The origin of Muktagiri as a centre of pilgrimage goes back to a memorable occurrence in which the leading part is played by a saintly monk. This is something characteristic of many places featured in this book and confirms the traditional conviction held by Jainas that their saints of old lived up to the...

32. Ellora

jambudweep
Ellora "Visitors to Ellora see the Jaina temples only after they have looked at Buddhist and Brahmanical ones, that is, when exhausted after their mile-long walk, and with their visual memories loaded with powerful images. They can then be hardly expected to have any interest left for the Jaina sculptures, and their indifference not seldom...

31. Mangi Tungi

jambudweep
Mangi Tungi Sacred Mangi Tungi - a sight to be seen! - is located at the end of a side-track in a thinly populated area of scenic grandeur. Rama and Sita on their flight from Ayodhya are said to have sojourned for a while at the foot of the Mangi, the western pinnacle of the...

30. Gajpantha

jambudweep
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. The hill is visible from the highway, but it needs a motor-rickshaw or a taxi to cover the about nine kilometres from Nasik....

29. Anjaneri

jambudweep
Anjaneri A hidden Jainacave-temple (now a shrine of the local Hindus) near the village of Anjaneri. A two-roomed cave, small in size yet remark- able for its sculptures.

28. Maharashtra

jambudweep
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

jambudweep
Jaina Culture The Jainas possess a distinct religion, a separate philosophy, a different ethical code, a set of peculiar beliefs, practices, customs and manners and a vast literature of their own. Though Jainas form a small minority at present, yet in the past they were not only numerous but also enjoyed royal patronage for a...

26. Valathy

jambudweep
Valathy 187 (above), Natural cave near the wester outskirts of Valathy, a village with a 400-year-old temple and a Jaina congregation of about thirty families. Illustration 106 (above left) shows a close-up of the cave's undated sculpture. Time, it seems, was of little concern then-and still is when judged by the potter (ill 108) seen at...
