The town of Eesari is located in the Indian state of Jharkhand. This town is a very popular destination in the state among both pilgrims and tourists. Eesari is majorly a pilgrim destination that attracts Jains from all over the country. This is because this town houses a Siddha Kshetra, which literally translates to ‘Place of Salvation’. This Jain temple, also called as the Shri Sammed Shikharji Teerth Kshetra is dedicated to Shri Digambar Jain Siddha Kshetra Sammed Shikharji, and is the only tourist hotspot in Eesari.
