Shikharji Comes Closer

Jai Jinendra

As we all now know, we are blessed that Siddhachalam's layout has such close similarities with the layout of Shri Shikharji's Tonks and Jal Mandir.

Now is the time for all to come together in bringing Shri Shikharji yatra and darshan experience to our very own teerth and to give our future generations a heritage to be proud of.
