Shree Sammet Shikhar or Shikharji is one of the most important pilgrimage places of the Jains. Twenty Tirthankaras attained their Moksha (Liberation) here. There are small shrines containing footprint images (padukas) of Tirthankars. These shrines (Tonk) are named after each Tirthankar. Nineteen of such shrines are along the path to the temple on the summit. This temple of Shamaliya Parshvanatha has two other idols (Pratimas) of Tirthankaras Suvidhinatha and Mallinatha on either side. Each Jain desires to visit Samet Shikhar at least once in his/her lifetime.Shree Sammet Shikhara Tirth
