There are 24 tirthankar in jainisim,
Out of 24 , 20 have attained nirvan from this place one can imagine how sacred this place is for jains from all sects.
Religious thought plays an important role. Many jain munis travelled here to achieve salvation,

Shikharji comes into Giridih district, Jharkhand, India, is located on Parasnath hill, the highest mountain in the state of Jharkhand.
Pilgrimage is a round trip of total 27 km through the madhuban forest.

Jains have always stood up for this tirth.
And they do not ever wish to loose it's sanctity by promoting tourism and other unwanted activities at this place.
Lakhs of Pilgrims come here to worship the nirvaan bhumi .

Lately many unwanted things have been come up in this area regarding nonveg food , n alcohol availability and etc (nearby places)
These things hurts the sentiments of jains and ppl worshipping the place a lot
These are eateries found on the hill which jains shud avoid eating at

Somewhere we are giving them reasons to open more of such eateries.
Holy city tag will give needed guard against unavoidable and unruly things and various other aspect.
Tag has to be followed with a certain decorum and comes with rules and regulations.

Holy city tag will help jains to maintain the sanctity and sacredness of the place as it is.
Even on international front this jain tirth will get a needed acclimation, so that the world knws how important place it is mankind.( Which one can experience only after visiting it)

Construction of houses near the Temple and hills have been increased a lot lately.
After the holy city tag all these things comes under control.
This is construction(black spots) built by locals which spreading near hill
Red spots are the Temple's been constructed by jains.

Holy city tag will not only give it a moment of pride but also it,ll help in safeguarding the flora and fauna of the hill and other control over illegal activities on hill by adivasi tribes.
There many rarest herbs available on the hill which are known to few ayurvedic dr.

This is the detail places and number temples (Tuk, Tonk) which pilgrims visit on this hill with bare foot
A pilgrim does a 27km round trip with bare foot only when one has a supreme devotion towards the Tirthankaras.
Such is the importance of this place
It's an humble request

To the @PMOIndia @HMOIndia @JharkhandCMO @ZeeBiharNews @JmmJharkhand @BJP4Jharkhand to consider this and give Shikharji a tag of
Holy city..
