Shergarh

Shergarh lies in the hills of the Chota Nagpur plateau near Giridih. To the southwest rises Parasnath, a sacred mountain known to Jains as Sammed Shikhar. Jain tradition holds that twenty of the twenty-four Tirthankaras attained liberation here. Temples and shrines crown the hill, which is also revered by the Santal as Marang Buru.
