Shri Sammed Shikharji is the holiest of all Jain teerths. Twenty of two-four Tirthankars of the current avasarpini and countless other siddha, attained moksa here. Parasnath hill which is 4431 ft. height is the highest mountain south of the Himalayas. It is located at the latitude of 23 degree, 9 minutes north and longitude of 86 degree, 3 minutes east. It was made accessible since the construction of a road in 1838.

It is situated on a group of eight hills called the Parasnath Hills in Giridih, Jharkhand. The base of Sammed Shikharji is called Madhuvan because of the trees sprinkling with drops and crystals of Madhu (Honey) all around the bottom of the mountain.

The oldest place to the hills as a holy place is establish in the Jantar Dharmakatha, one of the twelve texts constituting the canonical center of Jain literature. There the hills are explained as the place where Mallinatha, the nineteenth Jina, samadhi or meditative meditation.

This led to the name Sammed Åšikhar, the ‘peak of concentration’, more generally and simply Shikharji, ‘the respected peak’. The importance of the Parasnath hills as a pilgrimage location and their connection with Parsvanath can be traced to the medieval period when suggestion to them was made in the Parsvanathacarita, the memoirs of Parsva that enjoyed currency from the 12th century.

The progress of the hills was most prospective prompted by the attractiveness of Vulture Peak in Bihar, the holy mountain related with the Buddha where his believer Sariputra and others are alleged to have attained explanation. Shri Shikharji attracts pilgrims from crossways India.
