Shatrujaya Pichwai Painting

Shatrunjaya is one of the most sacred sites in
Jainism and as a result is an important site of
pilgrimage, or tirtha. Jain pilgrimage sites are often
based upon key locations in the lives of the Jinas
Shatrunjaya is a mountain in the town of Palitana in
Gujarat which was visited by many of the earliest
tirthankaras and is particularly linked with Adinath,
or Rishabhanatha, the first tirthankara. It is covered
by many temples, the first of which is said to have
been built by Bharata, the son of Rishabhanatha.
The earliest structure which remains on the twin
peaks of Shatrunjaya is dedicated to Rishabanatha,
as the area was repeatedly sacked by Muslim
invaders in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries
Map paintings on cloth, or pata, depict pilgrimage
sites in great detail for those devotees not able to
visit the sacred sites themselves. They are hung in
temples and provide a mental pilgrimage for the
viewer, who can still achieve merit similar to that
achieved by physical pilgrimage by contemplating
the tirtha pata
