Muktagiri

Fifty-two Digambara temples set into a wooded ravine beside a waterfall, on the Madhya Pradesh–Maharashtra border.

The temples are strung along a horseshoe of hillside around a stream that falls into the ravine, so the walk between them is through forest rather than across a courtyard. It is among the greener pilgrimage sites in the tradition and much the quietest.

Muktagiri is also a siddha-kshetra. The name is usually read as "the hill of the liberated".
