A Vital Matters Perspective: Pilgrimage Sites and Their Mediated Forms

Pilgrimage Sites and Their Mediated Forms

Lynna R. Dhanani highlights the diverse visual forms used to represent Jain pilgrimage sites, including long painted scrolls, choḍ paṭas, marble and metal 3D models, and two-dimensional carvings. These varied media reflect the significance of sacred geography in Jain devotion and the many ways devotees engage with these important locations across different contexts.
