Shatrunjaya Hill is home to over 863 marble Jain temples built across 900 years. The hill was sanctified when Rishabha, the first Tirthankara, delivered his sermons at the summit. The 3,500-step climb takes about 2 hours, with Doli services available for elderly pilgrims.

The Adinath Temple stands at the highest point with intricate marble carvings and centuries of devotional artistry. Built in the 12th century, it’s the most important shrine in the complex.

The Chaumukha Temple, constructed in 1618, houses a four-faced Adinath image facing the cardinal directions. Detailed stone work and peaceful atmosphere make it a pilgrimage highlight.

Book with Ahmedabad Wheels for private car service from pickup to the temple base.

Visit Palitana from November to February when temperatures range from 10°C to 24°C, making the temple climb comfortable.

Cooler weather makes the hill ascent easier, and clear skies often provide views of the Gulf of Cambay from the summit. Summer months from March to June see temperatures above 40°C, which can make the steep climb challenging.
