The Jain Temple complex at Kundalpur, nestled on Hathi Pahad near Nalanda, is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites for Śvētāmbara Jains. Comprised of three gleaming marble temples dedicated to Adinatha, Parshvanatha and Mahavira, it was inaugurated in 2010 and draws thousands annually, especially during Kartik Purnima.
