Palitana is one of the most sacred sites in Jainism, with over 800 exquisitely carved marble temples crowning the top of Shatrunjaya Hill. Pilgrims take a 3,800-step climb in barefoot silence, often before sunrise, creating a powerful spiritual experience.
Even if you choose not to climb, the temple town at the base is equally fascinating—with ritual shops, guest dharamshalas, and the hum of devotion all around. It’s a place where silence speaks volumes and time feels suspended.
