Located 37 kilometres (23 miles) northeast of the city of Damoh, Kundalpur is a pilgrimage site for Digambar Jains.

The Kundalpur Fair takes place in the month of March, beginning with the annual gathering of Jains, immediately after the Festival of Colours, and lasts for two weeks.

The statue was incorrectly identified in 1878 by Joseph David Beglar, who noted the inscription mounted on the wall, as of Neminatha.

It included smaller shrines and temples, and was enclosed within a fortified compound with tall rubble masonry walls on top of the hill.

The main garbhagrih contained the Bade Baba pratima which along with its parikar (including the Parshvanth images) occupied the entire back wall.
