    Summary

    Description
    English: The Shwetambara Jains hold five centers of pilgrimage to be most sacred. These places are Shatrunjaya and Girnar in Gujarat, Abu in Rajasthan, Sammeda Shikharji in Jharkhand and mythical Ashtapada in Himalayas. People who are unable to go for the pilgrimage, can achieve its religious merits by viewing cartographical overviews of the pilgrimage site (called Tirthapata). Every year (in Oct-Nov), “Tirthapata” is hung in the vicinity of a Jain temple or at a prepared location for devotees to worship.

    This Tirthapata is painted on wood and may have been used as a backdrop for a household shrine.

    This Tirthapata is from 20th century CE and on display in the "Prince of Wales Museum, Mumbai" (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya).
