Shatrunjaya

Shatrunjaya or Shetrunjaya ("place of victory against inner enemies")[1] originally Pundarikgiri, are hills located by the city of Palitana, in Bhavnagar district, Gujarat, India.

[4] The ancient history of the hills is also traced to Pundarik Swami, a chief Ganadhara[5] and grandson of Rishabha, who attained Nirvana/Moksha here.

His shrine located opposite to the main Adinath temple, built by Son of Rishabha, Bharata.

The Palitana temples, a pilgrimage complex on both hills and their saddle, are reached by climbing approximately 3750 stone steps, which are carved into the mountain.

During this yatra, considered a great event in the lifetime of a Jain, pilgrims circumambulate the Shatrunjaya hills covering a distance of 216 kilometres (134 mi) on foot, offering prayers.
