Girnar

I've moved this incomprehensible bit of text here, in case someone else can make sense of it: Giranr mountain is also important as most of all prominent and famous saints who had affected lifes of people of India and the world. People such as Swami Gunatitanad from the Swaminarayan Sampraday, Swani Vivekanand, Shri Nathu Ram Sharma of Bilkha who was a great Yogi, Shri Goraksh Nath the ever present yogi among others have achieved their knowledge here in Girnar. In its caves are residents of naga sanyasis; also foreigners came here to visit the fair organised at Maha shivratri nearly falling in January or February. Approximately ten to twelve of the lakh public visit every fair every year, and it is a joy of life to see the fair in Girnar. It is also famous for "parikrmma" (people walking around all mountains). It is held after eleven days of diwali known as "DEV UTHI AGIYARAS". Almost two to three lacs peoples used to take part in this fair ceremony.

It is in Gujarat, related to both Hindus and Jains. BuddingJournalist 08:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Not objective

Why is there no mention of the Temple on ? Girnar is famous as the Also, the temple has been omitted. The information in this article is clearly incomplete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sspawse19 (talk • contribs) 08:17, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes. You are correct. I had added few details with the references in the article. Few people are trying to revert that. I have warned them and asked then to discuss on the talk page. Need support in this... Kautuk1 (talk) 06:28, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Biased information present on current Girnar Article

First of all as anyone can see that Girnar article has been marked with following issues: This article possibly contains original research. (June 2020) This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2015) This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. (November 2020)

Particularly if you read the article, you will find that the article about 'A mountain' is filled with really detailed data about jain temple and said Jain gods and monks having a claim on shrines as well and its history in a mythological contexts not backed by any facts. Secondly, references are very poor and doesn't even open which signifies this. (which has been pointed out way back in April 2015, June 2020)

Lastly, there are controversial accusations made towards Hindu community at the start of the article which is also not backed by any relevant reference.

The version that I put https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Girnar&oldid=1095105878, attempts to mitigate occurrences of this biased information but I am getting flagged and my changes are getting reverted. Please compare my version vs current version to see what's going on.

I want to be a genuine contributor to Wikipedia that's why I don't want to actively engage in any argument. However, I would be grateful if avid contributors look at this article and look at this message in a holistic way putting aside their biases and update the Girnar article accordingly.Then Girnar article can become a truly informative to follow wikipedia's mission 'to create and distribute a free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 43.250.156.105 (talk) 17:26, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

@43.250.156.105: Did you just admit to using sockpuppets? Wow. GTNO6 (talk) 07:38, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

No I haven't. Because I admit that I made an edit while not being logged in, but that was only because I forgot that I wasn't logged in, and unfortunately only realized it after making those edits. If there's any way to correct that mistake I will be happy to do it. This is clear case of 'whataboutism' by GTNO6, where instead having a discussion on the real topic, the user has been engaged in posting unwarranted warnings and trying to dissuade Users.

Now coming to the main point, which the discussion should have been in the first place, please read my above message again if you haven't, and come up with the facts first if you think that edits that you have made are legitimate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tannaray68 (talk • contribs) 16:45, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Kautuk1 also noticed similar issue of targeted removing of Hindu Temple and information in the past (visible above in the article). We need intervention from Arbiter/ Administrator address this as per my opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tannaray68 (talk • contribs) 19:10, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

• No sources provided for exceptional claims. I am reverting now. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 12:47, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Information Missing on Hindu temples located on top of the girnar mountain

The first peak is topped by the Temple of Amba Mata, where newly-weds worship to ensure a happy marriage. Beyond here there is quite a lot of down as well as up to reach the other four peaks and further temples. The Temple of Gorakhnath is perched on Gujarat’s highest peak at 1117m. The steep peak Dattatraya is topped by a shrine to a three-faced incarnation of Vishnu. Atop the final outcrop, Kalika is a shrine to the goddess Kali. Kautilya 2296 (talk) 04:19, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Missing information on the Hindu Temples present on 5he holy peak

this page is having adequate and very good information about the Jain temples present on the holy peak but missed the main information about the Hindu temples which are primary in all the temples present on the peak. The external links don't make any sense on the matter of unavailable information on the page as it is present at the last The Indoman 360 (talk) 18:13, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
