Siddhayatan Hindu-Jain Tirth

Siddhayatan is seated on 125 acres of beautiful rolling hills over an hour away from Dallas, Texas - a perfect place to host 40 acres of miniature pilgrimage sites. A temple is commonly found in the city, but pilgrimages are intended to be far from the hustle and bustle of life so that visitors can feel their stress melt away. One visitor commented, “The drive itself leaving the city starts the long and sacred journey only to be continued at Siddhayatan where peace resides.” Temples and churches are found at almost every corner in the city, but there are no tirthas outside India…until now.

The Gomteshwara Tirth, is a popular pilgrimage site for south Indians, Jains, and Hindus. Gomteshwara, also known as Bahubali, was the son of first Tirthankar, Lord Adinath (Risha bhdev).

Shree Gomteshwara Tirth is a 614 step journey on Sravanabelagola Hill located in the Indian state of Karnataka . The symbol of Lord Bahubali (Shree Gomteshwara) stands 57 feet and 8 inches high and represents his successful determination for enlightenment, after standing in one place for one year. It is the tallest monolithic sculpture in the world.

Shree Gomteshwar is widely known in Hindu culture and Jain heritage. He is the ideal symbol for humankind to conquer the evils of selfishness, jealousy, greed, and anger.

Siddhayatan Tirth will include a miniature version of this popular pilgrimage site, with a 101 step journey and a standing symbol of Lord Bahubali 10 feet tall to teach all visitors the determination needed for self-realization.
