Shri Digambar Jain Siddha Kshetra, Kunthalgiri

Deshbhushan Kulbhushan attainted Nirwaan from here during the time of Munisuvaratnath Tirthankar. Both were prince of a state, due to some unexpected event both were inspired to accept asceticism to achieve salvation. During their stay at Kunthalgiri, once upon a time while Ram – Lakshmana with Seeta were in nearby forest during their 14 years period of living in forest, they heard uproar and many terrible sounds on the hill. They came to know that an enemy of previous life was troubling both saints, Ram = Lakshman then went to hill and freed them from trouble (Upsarga). At the same time both the ascetic saints attained Kevalgyan (Super natural knowledge) and also salvation from there. White stone idols of Deshbhushan and Kulbhushan are installed in the main temple on the small hill (150 steps).
