Shetrunjayaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

High upon Shetrunjaya Hill in Gujarat, western India, is the abode of the Jain Tirthankaras - a set of 24 gods, including Adinath. A cluster of 863 shrines, 600 meters above the town of Palitana, the architecture of the temples reflects centuries and generations of grandeur, wealth, religious leanings, aesthetic values. It is an arduous climb, anywhere between 3500-4000 steps - but in miles, a mere 2.5. Standing atop at the summit, it is possible to view the Shetrunjaya River below. Devout Jains refrain from eating during their uphill climb, which may begin at dawn, as well as when they are descending just before dusk; they may sip on some boiled water.
