Grand 6.5ft x 4ft Palitana Pat – Traditional Hand-Painted Jain Pilgrimage Map

Experience the spiritual journey of a lifetime with this monumental Shatrunjaya Pat. This expansive work is a traditional Jain pilgrimage map, meticulously detailing the architectural and spiritual landscape of the sacred Shatrunjaya hill. The composition is a visual encyclopedia of the site, featuring hundreds of individual shrines, temple complexes, and the winding paths taken by pilgrims for centuries.

The artwork utilizes a sophisticated palette of muted earth tones, blues, and greens, highlighted by the repetitive use of golden figures representing the Tirthankaras in their respective shrines. Above the sacred peaks, the sun, moon, and celestial beings preside over a sky of stylized clouds, while the lower registers depict the bustling activity of devotees and the serene presence of a lotus-filled river. Hand-painted on reinforced textile, this 6.5-foot masterpiece is a once-in-a-generation acquisition designed to anchor a grand foyer, a private meditation hall, or a prestigious corporate sanctuary.
