The Jain Temples At Palitana

On Shatrunjaya hill by the city of Palitana lies a stunning collection of Jain temples. Palitana has colloquially been known as the ‘City of Temples’, considered to be one of Jain community’s holiest sites.

You can get lost spending your entire day exploring the hilltop and its close to 900 {you read that right} temples. These marble-carved structures are filled with intricate stonework and design, and are grouped in clusters across Shatrunjaya hill. A truly unique temple complex, the Palitana temples have hundreds upon hundreds of buildings of different shapes and sizes.
