History & significance

A twin-pinnacled Digambara Jain pilgrimage hill in Nashik district, honeycombed with rock-cut caves and shrines holding Tirthankara images in padmasana and kayotsarga. Images installed in 595 CE survive here and an inscription of 1343 is recorded in the Adinatha cave; a 108-foot statue was consecrated in 2016 at the inspiration of the nun Gyanmati Mataji.

Sthala katha — the traditional account

What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.

Jain tradition holds that Rama, Hanuman, Sugriva and ninety-nine crore ascetics attained moksha from these hills.
