Jainism is considered to be the most demanding of all India's religions. The focus of the religion is not the glorification of a god, but the attainment of self-perfection by abandoning material needs and desires.

Shatrunjaya, aside from being visually stunning, is also a wonderful place to stand back and respectfully observe the goings-on in the temples.
