Wonderful and divine temples are established on every street in India. This is the reason why our country is considered a stronghold of temples. Each temple has its own belief and many deep secrets associated with that temple. In this episode, today we are going to tell you about the only mountain in the world where more than 900 temples are established based on the information given by astrologer expert DrRadhakant Vats.

  • The mountain we are talking about is Palitana situated in Gujarat which is a major pilgrimage place of Jainism. Palitana is situated on the Shatrunjaya mountain, 50 kilometers away from the Bhavnagar district in the southwest. The beauty and divinity of this temple are believed to fascinate anyone.
  • The Palitana shrine has been constructed with beautiful carvings on marble. This place on the Shatrunjaya mountain is the main centre of the faith of the Jain community, where more than 900 Jain temples are present, in which the main temple of Lord Adinath (Rishabhdev), the first Tirthankar of Jainism, is established on the top of the mountain.

  • In Jainism, the temple of Palitana is considered to be the most sacred and divinely miraculous. According to the legend associated with this place, these temples situated on the hills were built for the Lord's resting place and since then it became a place of pilgrimage for Jains.
  • For this reason, not only the devotees but also the priest is not allowed to stay here at night. Temples are emptied during nighttime as it is believed that 24 Tirthankaras of Jainism come here for rest at night and no one is allowed to stay so that there is no disturbance in their sleep.

  • During the day again the gates of all the 900 temples are opened and devotees are allowed to have darshan. There is a belief in the Jain community about this place that all the temples on this mountain are divinely fruitful. Here the Tirthankaras themselves take away the miseries of the devotees.
