The #Girnar mountain ranges are considered to be sacred. It is an important pilgrimage site for both #Jains and #Hindus, who gather here during the #Girnar_Parikrama festival.

#Girnar is one of the five major 'tirthas' attributed to the 'panchkalyanakas' of various 'Jain tirthankaras'

It is 3666 feet high, and is one of the most remarkable mountains in #India. From the city of #Junagarh, which is at an altitude of barely 351 feet only the top of #Mount_Girnar can be seen, as it has in front of it lower hills, of which #Jogniya, or #Laso_Pawadi, 2527 feet; #Lakhshman_Tekri, Bensla, 2290 feet high; and #Datar, 2779 feet high, are the principals.
