'''''Tirth Pat''''' ({{lang-hi|तीर्थ पट}}) is a religious map and [[topographical]] rendering used in [[Śvētāmbara|Śvētāmbara Jainism]] religion for representing places of [[pilgrimage]] ([[Tirtha (Jainism)|Tirtha]]). Tirth Pat is different than the conventional [[map]] making and is not drawn to [[Scale (map)|scale]]. Tirth Pat is not indicative of distances, elevation, topography and direction and is solely used for [[evocation]] of [[Jain]] [[pilgrimage]]s ([[Tirtha (Jainism)|Tirtha]]s). It is believed in Jainism that mere viewing of a Tirth Pat earns merit for a devotee.<ref name="Mental pilgrimages">{{cite news|title=Mental pilgrimages|work=[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]]|accessdate=Nov 2015|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2009/20090329/spectrum/art.htm}}</ref><ref name="Map of Jain sacred site Shatrunjaya">{{cite news|title=Map of Jain sacred site Shatrunjaya|publisher=[[National Gallery of Australia]]|accessdate=Nov 2015|url=http://artsearch.nga.gov.au/Detail.cfm?IRN=149184}}</ref>

==Belief==
The [[Śvētāmbara]] Jains hold five centers of pilgrimage to be most sacred. These places are [[Shatrunjaya]] and [[Girnar]] in [[Gujarat]], [[Mount Abu]] in [[Rajasthan]], [[Shikharji]] in [[Bihar]] and [[Mount Kailash#In Jainism|Ashtapada]] in [[Himalayas]]. People who are unable to go for the pilgrimage, can achieve its religious merits by viewing cartographical overview of the pilgrimage site on Tirth Pat. Every year (in Oct-Nov), Tirth Pat is hung in the vicinity of a Jain temple or at a prepared location for devotees to worship.<ref name="Mental pilgrimages"/>
