Royal Power · Eternal Peace · Liberation
From the noble Ikshvaku dynasty of Hastinapur, born to King Surya and Queen Shridevi, Kunthunath Bhagwan reigned as the Sixth Chakravartin before renouncing the throne to attain Siddhahood — illuminating the eternal path from empire to liberation.
This consecrated portal honours the divine life, teachings and timeless legacy of Kunthunath Bhagwan — a sovereign king turned liberated soul, whose footsteps traced the path from worldly empire to absolute freedom.
On the fourteenth day of the Vaishakh Krishna month, in the noble city of Hastinapur, Kunthunath descended into the royal household of King Surya and Queen Shridevi of the venerable Ikshvaku dynasty.
As Chakravartin, he wielded universal sovereignty across the six continents and possessed the fourteen sacred jewels — yet beheld the ephemeral nature of empire and the eternal call of the soul.
Through severe penance, omniscient meditation and the path of the Three Jewels, Bhagwan Kunthunath shed every karmic bond and ascended to the realm of the liberated, becoming a Siddha forever free.
Long before he ascended the spiritual throne, Kunthunath ruled the world as the Sixth Chakravartin of this descending half-cycle. Yet the radiance that emanates from his sacred form is not of empire — it is of vairagya, the dispassion that perceives the ornaments of crown and battle as but passing shadows upon the eternal soul.
Eight luminous principles illumined by Bhagwan Kunthunath — guiding seekers across ages from bondage to boundless liberation.
Reverence for all living beings — the supreme dharma.
Unwavering truthfulness in word, thought and deed.
Non-possessiveness — freedom from attachment.
Boundless compassion toward every living soul.
Disciplined self-control of senses and mind.
Sacred austerity — purifying the bonds of karma.
Right vision — perceiving truth as it truly is.
The boundless freedom — soul united with itself.
Hastinapur, the resplendent capital of the Ikshvaku dynasty, is sanctified as the birthplace of three Tirthankaras — Shantinath, Kunthunath and Aranath. It stands as one of the most revered Jain pilgrimage centres, where royal grandeur surrendered itself to the silence of liberation.
