Girnar, Sacred mountain in Junagadh district, India
Mount Girnar rises to 1117 meters above sea level, featuring multiple temples and religious structures along its stone-stepped pathway to the summit.
The mountain contains rock inscriptions from Emperor Ashoka dating to 250 BCE, marking important administrative and social regulations of that period.
Thousands of pilgrims climb the 10,000 steps to reach the temples dedicated to Lord Neminath, where the 22nd Tirthankar achieved nirvana.
The Girnar Ropeway, extending over 2.3 kilometers, now provides an alternative transportation method to reach the Ambaji temple at the mountain peak.
The mountain hosts multiple water reservoirs including Bhima Kunda, which maintain their structural integrity despite being constructed centuries ago.
