From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shri Sammet Shikharji, located near Giridih, in Jharkhand state, India, is a major Jain pilgrimage destination and one of the most sacred places for Jains in the world. As many as 20 out of 24 Tirthankaras attained Nirvana (Salvation) from here. The only ones who did not were Rishabh, Vasupujya, Naminatha, and Mahavira.
