ABOUT

Shree Parshwa Padmavathi Shaktipeet Tirth Dham, known also as Krishnagiri Shaktipeetam, is one of the major attractions at Krishnagiri. Krishnagiri Shaktipeetam, dedicated to Sri Padmavathi Devi, was founded by Sri Vasanth Gurudev-Ji and it focuses on Mathru Upasana of Sri Parshwanath Bhagwan, the 23rd Thirthankar of the 24 Thirthankars of Jainism. Krishnagiri Shaktipeetam is situated at a distance of 7 km from Krishnagiri town at Orappam Village. Shri Vasanth Gurudev Ji’s pilgrimage centre is one such noteworthy outcome of dedicated Yoga Vidya. Until a few years ago, Krishnagiri tirth was hardly a noticeable destination on the map of India. But today it has emerged as a centre of faith for millions of Jains. No wonder then, that we are no longer surprised even when non-Indians have Krishnagiri topping their list of “must visit” places, for today we know that this name has its own significance on the world map. Its fame cannot be without reason. Thousands throng here for a glimpse of Shakti Parshwa Prabhu, Sahasraphana Parshwanatha’s magnificent idol. The blessing of Bhagavathi Padma has transformed this land into a sacred space for pilgrims.
