It shows the town of Shatrunjaya in Gujarat, a pilgrimage spot for the Jains, as a diagram. We can trace popular pilgrimage routes, important sites, and get a sense of the landscape. In this image, the centre is a temple dedicated to Adinath, built in the 13th century and follows pilgrims on different modes of transport.
