Kundadri Jain Temple Located on the Theerthahalli-Agumbe road, about 12km from Theerthahalli, Kundadri Hill is a gigantic monolithic rock formation. Surrounded by dense evergreen forests, it is a lovely place for trekking. A rough, stone-paved path leads to a Jain temple, Parshwanath Chaityalaya, a stone structure, perched atop the hill. The name Kundadri is believed to be derived from the name of Acharya Kundakunda, a popular 4th century Jain Monk, who is said to have taken shelter in these hills. On top of Kundadri, a 17th century Jain temple dedicated to 23rd Tirthankara of Jains, Parshwanatha invites Jain devotees from different parts of the country. The small temple, along with two small ponds form the only building on top of Kundadri hills.
