Kuṇḍalapura (कुण्डलपुर) is situated in Damoha District. According to the Tiloyapaṇṇati of Yativṛṣbha, Śrīdhara attained liberation from Kuṇḍalagiri. There is mention of Kuṇḍalapura in the Sanskrit Nirvāṇa Bhakti of Pūjyapāda. The main deity at this Tīrtha is of Ṛṣabha 6th century A.D. but not of Mahāvīra, as is generally believed. This Tīrtha was renovated by Mahārāja Chatrasāla in V.S. 1757 through the Bhaṭṭārakas. It is regarded as the famous Atiśaya Kṣetra and at this place there also exists sixty Jain temples.
