    About this circuit

    This circuit chains the most sacred Jain pilgrimage sites across India: Sammed Shikharji (where 20 of 24 Tirthankaras attained moksha), Pavapuri (Mahavira's nirvana), the marble temple-city of Palitana on Shatrunjaya hill, Girnar, the 1,444-pillared Ranakpur temple, and the towering Bahubali monolith at Shravanabelagola. It spans Jharkhand, Bihar, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Karnataka — a full circuit is a multi-week project usually done as regional clusters.
