In [[Jainism]], a '''''tīrtha''''' ({{lang-sa|तीर्थ}} "[[Ford (crossing)|ford]], a shallow part of a body of water that may be easily crossed") is used to refer both to [[pilgrimage]] sites as well as to the four sections of the ''[[sangha (Jainism)|sangha]]''. A ''tirtha'' provides the inspiration to enable one to cross over from worldly engagement to the side of ''[[Moksha (Jainism)|moksha]]''.<ref>[http://www.jsgc.org/tirth.htm Special features of sacred places of Jains] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090413051722/http://www.jsgc.org/tirth.htm |date=2009-04-13 }}</ref>

Jain ''tirthas'' are located throughout India. Often a ''tirtha'' has a number of temples as well as residences (dharmashala) for the pilgrims and wandering monks and scholars.

==Types==
''Tirtha'' sites include:<ref>Jainism: A Pictorial Guide to the Religion of Non-Violence, Kurt Titze, Motilal Banarsidass; 2nd edition (March 5, 2001)</ref>

* ''Siddhakshetra''s or site of ''[[Moksha (Jainism)|moksha]]'' liberation of an ''[[Arihant (Jainism)|arihant]]'' (''kevalin'') or [[Tirthankara]]s like [[Mount Kailash|Ashtapada Hill]], [[Shikharji]], [[Girnar]], [[Pawapuri]], [[Palitana]], [[Mangi-Tungi]] and [[Champapuri]] (capital of [[Anga]])
* ''Atishayakshetra''s where divine events have occurred like [[Mahavirji]], [[Rishabhdeo]], [[Kundalpur]], [[Aharji]] etc.
* ''Puranakshetra''s associated with lives of great men like [[Ayodhya]], [[Jain temples, Vidisha|Vidisha]], [[Hastinapur]], and [[Rajgir]]
* ''Gyanakshetra'': associated with famous ''[[acharya]]s'' or centers of learning like [[Mohankheda]], [[Shravanabelagola]] and [[Ladnu]]

==Locations==
Geographically, the ''tirthas'' are divided into six quarters:<ref>Bharat ke Digambar Jain Tirth, Volume 1, Balbhadra Jain, 1974</ref>
