It is at Parasnath that 20 out of 24 Jain Tirthankaras (ford makers) attained enlightenment. Needless to say, the place is one of the most important sites of Jain pilgrimage. Situated in the Giridih district of Jharkhand, Parasnath is named after Parshva, the 23rd Tirthankara of Jainism, and is gateway to the Parasnath hill, also known as Shikarji (Venerated Peak).
