सोनागिरि
Sonagiri, Datia, Madhya Pradesh · 25.7222°, 78.3803°
A Digambar Jain tirtha of 103 temples across a 132-acre hill site near Datia, centred on an 11-foot image of Chandraprabhu known as Bade Baba; the temples date from the 9th century onwards over a much older rock-cut image.
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 since the time of Chandraprabhu five and a half crore ascetics have attained moksha here, among them king Nanganang and half a million followers.
