Palitana temples, Jain temple complex in Gujarat, India.
The complex contains over 900 temples constructed in marble, spread across the summit of Mount Shatrunjaya at an elevation of 600 meters.
The construction of these temples began during the 11th century and continued for 900 years under various patrons and builders of the Jain community.
The temples represent the sacred site where 23 of the 24 Tirthankaras, fundamental teachers of Jainism, visited and sanctified the location through their presence.
Visitors must climb 3800 stone steps to reach the temple complex, with the ascent taking approximately ninety minutes to complete.
The regulations mandate that no person, including religious officials, can remain within the temple complex overnight, maintaining specific spiritual principles.
