How To Reach Kundalpur Digambar Jain Temple

Nalanda, Bihar, India:
The Kundalpur Digambar Jain Temple is another significant pilgrimage center, standing very close to the Shwetambar temple. It is considered by the Digambar sect to be the exact location of the palace (Nandyavart Mahal) where Lord Mahavira was born to King Siddartha and Queen Trishala about 2600 year s ago. The current complex is modern and expansive, featuring a central temple with a majestic idol of Bhagwan Mahavira in the Padmasana (lotus) posture. The site is a complex of several temples, including shrines dedicated to other Tirthankaras, a magnificent Kirti Stambh (Pillar of Glory) with Mahavira's idols, and a museum and art gallery dedicated to his life. Furthermore, it marks the birthplace of three of his eleven chief disciples (Ganadhara). The complex emphasizes the historical narrative through its structures, including depictions of the sixteen auspicious dreams seen by his mother, Queen Trishala. The large campus, peaceful ambiance, and well-equipped pilgrim facilities (including a Dharamshala and Bhojanalaya) make it a vital stop on the Jain circuit in Bihar, offering a rich cultural and spiritual experience.

How to Reach

By Air: Patna Airport (PAT) (95 KM) is generally preferred for its better connectivity, or Gaya International Airport (GAY) (85 KM). Hire a taxi from the airport to Kundalpur (2. 5 to 3 hours drive). :

By Train: The most active station is Bihar Sharif Railway Station (BHS) (10 KM), followed by Rajgir Junction (RGD) (15 KM). The very local Nalanda Railway Station (NLD) (5 KM) is the closest but has limited trains. Take an auto or cab from the station. :

By Road: Kundalpur village is easily reached from Nalanda town or Bihar Sharif via well-paved roads. Private car hire is the most comfortable, especially when combining the visit with other sites like Pawapuri. :

By Local Transport: Shared auto-rickshaws (Tempos) from Nalanda or Bihar Sharif are frequently available and the cheapest option to reach the temple complex directly. The journey is short and inexpensive.
