Bhagwan Kunthunath was born in Hastinapur to King Surya (Shur) and Queen Shridevi of the Ikshvaku dynasty. His name, derived from the dream of a heap of jewels (Kunthu), symbolizes spiritual wealth and brilliance. His symbol is the goat, representing humility, gentleness, and inner strength.

He was both a Tirthankara and a Chakravarti, conquering all directions before renouncing worldly life. After taking diksha, he attained Kevalgyan under the Mango tree, and his teachings emphasized ahimsa, truth, and soul-consciousness. He attained moksha at Sammed Shikharji, becoming a Siddha, eternally free from karmic bondage.
