The entire summit of majestic mount Shatrunjaya is crowned with about 900 temples, each rivaling the other for beauty and magnificence, presenting an awe-inspiring spectacle to devotees and visitors.
The mount Shatrunjaya lies hardly a km away from the town. The mountain is associated with Rishabhdev, the first tirthankar, also known as Adinath. The entire summit is covered with temples among which the most famous are those of Adinath, Kumarpal, Vimalshah, Samprati Raja and the Chomukh, which is the highest and can be distinguished from a distance. The multitude of temples, half palaces, half fortresses are made of splendid marble, with their spires aiming the skies present a spectacle unmatched for it's scale and magnitude.
While atop one can also visit a Muslim shrine of Angar Pir. The Pir's blessings are invoked by childless women to be blessed with children. |
