GLORY OF PALITANA

Hi Guy's
Mulnayak: Nearly 216 cms. high, white-colored and brightly shining idol of Bhagawan Adishvar with a serene and peaceful face and in the Padmasana posture..
Tirth: It is on the Shetrunjaya Mt. at a distance of nearly six kilometers near the city of the bank of the river Shetrunjaya.
Historicity: This tirth is known as the eternal tirth. The ancient name of the city of Palitana was Padliptapur. In olden times this mountain was also called Pundarikgiri. Palitana is a city of temples. Worshippers come to Palitana, take a bath in the river, bow down to the 99 idols and cross the ocean of re-births. In this avasarpinikala (the descending half of the wheel of time), the temple was renovated 16 times as under.
Recently on 12th and 13th I went to PALITANA. One of the most sacred place of the Jains and muslims(anybody hardly knows that it's also a holy place for muslims). The most remarkable thing about it is that if we count the number of gods on the mountain of palitana than they will be more than the number of rice that can be put up in a sack(bag in which wheat comes i.e. BORI ) .And it maintains records of the people who went their from about many years back even when jesus was not born.
