The Jain's sacred site of Shatrunjaya contains hundreds of Palitana temples built mostly between the 11th Century and 16th Century CE. The Shatrunjaya Hills were sanctified when Rishabha; the first tirthankara (omniscient Teaching God) of Jainism; gave his first sermon in the temple on the hill top. The ancient history of the hills is also traced to Pundarika Swami; a chief Ganadhara and grandson of Rishabha; who attained salvation here. His shrine located opposite to the main Adinath temple; built by his son Bharata; is also worshiped by pilgrims.
