Review highlights
- Famous for the 84-foot monolithic standing idol of Lord Adinath (Rishabhdev) carved from a single rock face - one of the tallest Jain rock-cut idols in India. Jain tradition also links the site to the moksha of Ramayana-era figures Indrajeet and Kumbhkaran. Has rooms/dharamshala and bhojanshala on-site per reviews, but no separate Google listing for the lodging was found in this search.
