Parasnath Hills is an important pilgrimage site for Jains. There is a steep 9 km hike to the top and a 9 km circuit that takes you to each of the 24 shrines. Many pilgrims hire a doli to carry them for the day. It's very hard work for the doli carrieres as the 27km day has many ups and downs. They have a really difficult job. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ #photography #travelphotography ##jain #pilgrimage #peopleoftheworld #people #portrait #portraitphotography #natgeopeople @fivestars_people hiking #trekking #mountainlife #mountain #mountainculture #mylpguide #lonelyplanetindia #indiashutterbugs #indiagram #indianphotography #shotinindia #natgeotravel #travelgram #traveladdict #travelbug #photooftheday #bucketlist

Jainism is an ancient religion founded in India. This Jain temple in Madhuban has statues of the 24 Jain teachers in small egg-like shrines. Madhuban is close to a sacred pilgrimage site on Parasnath Hill. It was very interesting to see the customs of this old religion. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ #photography #travelphotography #jain #temple #shrine #ancientarchitecture #religion #mylpguide #lonelyplanetindia #indiashutterbugs #indiagram #indiapictures #shotinindia #bucketlist #photooftheday #natgeoyourshot #natgeophotography #natgeotravel #travelgram #instatravel #traveladdict #travelbug #travelblogger
