Explanation
All three locations mentioned are significant Jain pilgrimage or heritage sites in India:
- Moodabidri (Karnataka): Known as the 'Jain Kashi' of the South, it is famous for the 15th-century Saavira Kambada Basadi (Thousand Pillared Temple) and is a major center of Jain culture and literature.
- Madurai (Tamil Nadu): While famous for the Meenakshi Temple, Madurai has a deep Jain heritage. The surrounding hills, particularly Samanar Malai (Jain Hill), contain ancient rock-cut caves, stone beds used by Jain monks, and numerous inscriptions and sculptures dating back to the 8th-9th centuries.
- Sonagiri (Madhya Pradesh): This is a major Digambara Jain pilgrimage site featuring 77 white temples on a hill and 26 in the village. It is traditionally believed to be the place where millions of ascetics attained Moksha (liberation).
Therefore, a traveler interested in Jain pilgrimage sites would visit all three towns.
