Palitana

Shatrunjaya Hill in Palitana boasts over 900 temples, making it the only hill of its kind in the world. Regarded as the holiest pilgrimage site (tirtha) for the Jain community, the entire mountain is revered. At its summit lies the principal temple dedicated to Rishabhdev, the first Tirthankara also known as Adinath or Adishwar. These temples were painstakingly constructed over a span of 900 years, starting from the 11th century, by successive generations of Jains.

According to Jain scriptures, Shatrunjaya Hill is where countless Jain monks achieved omniscience and liberation, rendering the entire hill sacred from top to bottom. The journey to the summit is rigorous, typically taking about an hour and a half. Climbers adhere strictly to Jain principles, abstaining from consuming or carrying food along the way. Reflecting the profound Jain faith and Palitana's status as one of the world's most sacred places, the city achieved a notable milestone in 2014 becoming the first in the world to legally declare itself vegetarian. This legislation prohibits the sale and consumption of meat, fish, and eggs, as well as related occupations such as fishing and animal husbandry for food purposes.

Junagadh

Junagadh is renowned for Mount Girnar, where numerous Jain and Hindu shrines are located. Girnar holds immense significance for Jains, as it is where the 22nd Tirthankara, Neminath, attained omniscience and Nirvana. In ancient times, Girnar was known by various names such as Girinagari, Ujjayantgiri, or Ujjaynta. The pilgrimage to Girnar has been revered in Jain scriptures since the 5th or 6th century AD. The current temple was reconstructed in 1129 A.D. by Sajjana, a governor of Jaysinhdev of the Solanki dynasty, replacing an older timber temple.

Another notable shrine is Bhavnath Mahadev, significant in Hinduism. The annual Bhavnath Fair, a five-day event held during the Magha month of the Hindu calendar (February-March), concludes with the auspicious worship of Lord Shiva at midnight on Maha Shivaratri. The fair attracts hundreds of Naga Sadhus from the Dashanami Sampradaya, who bathe in Mrgi Kund and offer prayers at the temple. It is believed that Lord Shiva himself visits this shrine on this sacred day.

Dwarka

The Dwarkadhesh temple of Dwarka Gujarat is very important pilgrimage for lord Krishna devotees. According to epic Mahabharata, Krisna was the king of ancient Dwarka and hence the name of temple is Dwarkadheesh, meaning King of Dwarka.

It is believed that current Dwarka of Gujarat is standing on the ground of the same ancient Dwarka. The temple spire rises to a height of 78 metres (256 ft). The flag, hoisted over the spire, shows the sun and moon, which is meant to indicate that Krishna would be there until the sun and moon exist on Earth. Devotees offer flag to get flurred on this temple on fulfilling their wishes. Everyday five flag changes on the temple and still there is waiting period of years if a devotee want to offer flag to get flurred on the temple.

Construction was completed in May 1951.

Historically, Veraval was a significant trading harbor, and due to its proximity, the temple gained renown as a center of Hindu faith. Despite repeated attacks by Islamic invaders from Central Asia aimed at its destruction, the temple consistently rose again from the rubble.
