About Bahubali Hill, Kumbhoj
A Digambara Jain centre on a low hill near Kolhapur, with a 28 foot standing Bahubali carved from a single stone. The climb is short and stepped. It is well known within the Jain community and largely unvisited outside it, which is a pity given the setting.
What to see and do
- The 28-foot monolithic Bahubali
- Hilltop Jain temple complex
- Short stepped climb, manageable for anyone
- Wide views over the Panchganga plain
Part of Sahyadri (Western Ghats).
