These sites are spiritually significant, believed to be places where Tirthankaras or saints performed miracles or attained enlightenment. They hold historical and cultural importance, featuring ancient temples and artifacts. Pilgrims visit to seek blessings and spiritual merit, and these sites also serve as centres for community gatherings, festivals, and religious ceremonies, fostering unity and shared faith among Jains.
