Shikharji is one of the holiest Jain Tirths, revered as the Nirvan Bhumi of 20 Tirthankars. The name Shikharji literally means "Venerable Peak."
Acharya Padaliptasuriji is believed to have performed the Shikharji Yatra daily using his miraculous Akashgamini Vidya.
Bhomiyaji is the Adhisthayak Dev (presiding deity) of Shikharji and is widely revered for his miraculous powers.
According to Divya Sanket, Jagat Sheth Mehtab Rai undertook the Jirnoddhar (renovation) of all the Kalyanak Bhumis and also constructed the Jal Mandir Jinalay during that period.
