Parasnath, Sacred mountain peak in Giridih district, India
Parasnath rises to 1366 meters as the highest elevation point in Jharkhand state, featuring dense forests and numerous trails to the summit.
The mountain received its name from Parshvanatha, the 23rd Jain Tirthankara, with stone structures dating back to the 2nd century BCE.
Twenty Jain Tirthankaras achieved moksha on this mountain, making it a principal pilgrimage destination with multiple marble temples at the summit.
Visitors need to complete an 11-kilometer trek from Madhuvan village to reach the summit, with accommodation available in local dharamshalas.
The peak offers views extending towards Mount Everest, located 450 kilometers away, during particularly clear weather conditions.
