a hill and place of Jain pilgrimage in British India, in Hazaribagh district, Bengal; 4480 ft. above the sea;. 18 m. from Giridih station on the East Indian railway. It derives its name from the last of the twenty-four Jain saints, who is believed to have here attained nirvana or beatific annihilation. It is crowded with temples, some of recent date; and the scruples. of the Jams have prevented it from being utilized as a sanatorium, for which purpose it is otherwise well adapted.
