History & significance
The chief Digambara Jain temple of Kundalpur, housing a post-Gupta image of Rishabhanatha venerated as Bade Baba. An eighth-century temple stood here first and was rebuilt in Vikram Samvat 1757 by Bhattaraka Surendrakirti with the help of the Bundela ruler Chhatrasal; the present larger temple was begun in 1997 under Acharya Vidyasagar and received the image in January 2006.
