Sammed Shikharji, located on the Parasnath Hills in Jharkhand, is one of the holiest pilgrimage sites for the Jain community. Revered as the place where 20 of the 24 Jain Tirthankaras attained Moksha, it holds immense spiritual significance. Every year, thousands of devotees undertake the arduous journey to this sacred mountain with deep faith and devotion, making it a center of spiritual awakening and cultural heritage.
Maintaining the sanctity and cleanliness of such holy places is of utmost importance. Cleanliness not only preserves the natural beauty of the sacred site but also ensures a pure environment for devotees who visit from across the globe. A clean mountain reflects respect for nature, spirituality, and the teachings of non-violence and purity embedded in Jain philosophy. It also encourages future generations to undertake their pilgrimage with reverence and pride in a well-preserved spiritual environment.
In recognition of this cause, the world record attempt for “Most People Pledged to Keep Mountain Clean” was organized under the banner of Federation of Humad Jain Samaj (International) from Akluj, Maharashtra, India. On 16th September 2025, around 451 participants collectively pledged to keep the sacred mountain Sammed Shikharji clean. The effort has been officially acknowledged and recognized in the Golden Book of World Records (GBWR), making it a historic moment of devotion combined with social responsibility.
The Federation of Humad Jain Samaj received the provisional certificate of Golden Book of World Records for its Sammed Shikharji yatra program and cleanliness campaign. The certificate felicitation ceremony was conducted at Gautam Gyan Gaurav Tunk on Sammed Shikharji. The provisional certificate was presented by Dr. Manish Vishnoei, Asia Head of Golden Book of World Records, who also administered the pledge to participants and formally announced the World Record.
The recognition was made possible through the dedicated efforts of the Sannmit Seva Dal. The event was graced by many distinguished personalities including Ajit Kothia (Founder & National Executive Member, Federation of Humad Jain Samaj), Vipin Gandhi (National President, Federation of Humad Jain Samaj), Mahendra Bandi (General Secretary), Mihir Gandhi (Former General Secretary), Hansmukh Jain Gandhi (Former President), Chakor Gandhi, Dr. Rajmal Kothari, Anjorit Kothia (Former General Secretary), Sannmit Seva Dal’s Sandesh Gandhi, Abhay Jain, Sharad Patnoth, and several other office bearers.
During the function, the dignitaries appreciated the noble initiative of pledging to keep Sammed Shikharji clean and highlighted efforts such as plastic-free pilgrimage campaigns and environmental awareness programs. The Federation expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Golden Book of World Records team for recognizing their contribution. This event, which saw the participation of approximately 1008 yatris, will be remembered as a proud moment for the entire Humad Jain community and a shining example of faith combined with environmental stewardship.
