Kundalpur Digambar Jain Temple Tourism
Type of destination: Religious Site
Ideal visit duration: 2-3 hours
Kundalpur Digambar Jain Temple is a revered Jain pilgrimage site located in Nalanda district of Bihar, India. This temple is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara (spiritual teacher) of Jainism. The complex houses a main temple where a majestic statue of Lord Mahavira is enshrined. Surrounded by lush greenery and a serene atmosphere, the temple, with its striking architecture, stands as a testimony to the rich cultural heritage of Jainism. The site comprises two hills, called the Vipulachal Mountain and the Vaibhargiri Mountain, where several smaller shrines and temples are spread across. Inside the complex, the visitors can find an ancient pond named 'Dirga Pushkarni'. Kundalpur becomes a hub of religious activities during the Mahavir Jayanti festival when Jains from across the world gather to celebrate. The place is not just of religious importance but also offers insights into the life and teachings of Lord Mahavira. A visit to Kundalpur is often combined with a trip to the nearby Nalanda University Ruins, which is another significant historical and educational site.

Birthplace of Lord mahavira
This is around 7-10 kms from nalanda main area and can be reached via a tanga(horse-driven) or electric van (toto). It is a must visit place to experience the serenity first-hand.
