Palitana pilgrims sight Lions at Shatrunjay Hills steps, video goes viral
October 24, 2025
Bhavnagar: An Asiatic lion was spotted at the pilgrimage site of Palitana this morning, creating a thrilling atmosphere in the area. A video of the incident, which occurred around 8:30 a.m., is now circulating on social media. When the pilgrims became scared and panicked, a local guide could be heard saying that the lion “would not do anything unless you panic and run.” Some locals could also be heard claiming that there were four lions in the area, although only one was visible in the video.
A similar incident occurred in Palitana in 2020, when three lions were spotted in the region. At that time, one of the lions had killed a goat at the foothills of Shatrunjay before moving up the hill. DeshGujarat
