The Temple Hill Sonagiri is a cluster of Jain shrines, sacred to the Digambar Jain sect, located about 70km from Gwalior, close to Datia. The hill known as Shravangiri earlier, has around 80 Jain temples of 9th and 10th century. This sacred place is popular among devotees and ascetic saints for practicing self-discipline, austerity and to attain Nirvana. The legend has that Chandraprabhu, the 8th Teerthankar, attained Moksha here along with "crores" of ascetic saints. The beautiful temples are spotless white, and vary in size and style.
