Mangi-Tungi is a prominent twin-pinnacled peak with plateau in between, located near Tahrabad about 125 km from Nasik, Maharashtra, India. Mangi, 4343 ft high above sea level, is the western pinnacle and Tungi, 4366 ft high, the eastern.
There are numerous temples and is considered sacred by both Hindus and Jains. It enshrines images of Jain Tirthankaras in several postures including Padmasana and kayotsarga. Sometimes, it is described as Siddha Kshetra, meaning a gateway to the state of enlightenment.
Around 4,500 steps lead to the foot of the peak, which is enriched with several monuments of historical and religious prominence. Besides, there are numerous caves named after great saints such as Mahavir, Adinath, Shantinath, Parshwanath and Ratnatrya. A grand fair is held here annually during Kartik (September-October) where Hindus and Jains visit in large numbers to witness the grand rath yatra.
