Kundadri

Kundadri is a hill (826 mt) with dense forests in the Western Ghats located in Shimoga District, Karnataka State, India.

This hill is known for a 17th-century Jain temple dedicated to Parshwanath tirthankara and the place is known to have given shelter to Acharya Kundakunda during earlier centuries.

Two small ponds formed by the rock on one side of this temple provided water to earlier sages.

Government of Karnataka joined hands with a philanthropist from Mumbai[1] to construct an all-weather road to the top of the hill.

As the place is secluded, there has been efforts to damage stone statues[3] to find hidden treasure.
