Jain Shrines : Prabhas Giri
Prabhas Giri is situated on the banks of Yamuna near Kaushambi,
at a distance of about 62 kms. From Allahabad, in Manjhanpur tehsil.
In the ancient times, it was a part of Kaushambi and was surrounded
by thick forests.
At Pabhosa, the 6th Tirthankar Bhagwan Padmaprabhu went into deep
meditation on the thirteenth day of Kartik, after having renounced
the world.
After six months of rigorous penance, he attained the eternal knowledge
on the full moon day of Chaitra Shukla in a picturesque garden in
the vicinity.
Pabhosa is also the place where Bhagwan Padmaprabhu got diksha and
Gyan Kalyanak. Therefore, it is famous as the Kalnayak Tirth.
