863 Temples together : Paltina

 863 Temples together : Paltina


Palitana Travel GuideA 56 km drive from Bhavnagar, Palitana lies at the foot of the Shatrunjaya hill, with the Shatrunjaya river flowing to its south. 


The sacred hill rises in a crescendo of magnificent temples, 863 in all, that soar in splendour to the summit. These temples were built over a span of 900 years. The 600 m climb to the peak is usually made on foot.
