Jain Tirth

In Jainism our most important places are called tirtha. This word means "ford," which is the part of a river that you can easily cross over. This word is used because our Tirthankars crossed over pain and unhappiness in order to attain liberation.

There are hundreds of Jain tirths all over India. Here are some of the most popular tirths. You may have even visited some or heard of them from your family.

Most of these places are in beautiful surroundings, often on hill tops, and are open to all.
