At a distance of 4 km from the Dharamsala temple, there is Mandar mountain, at the foot of which there is a pond called Pap-harini. This pond was built by Adityasen's queen Kona Devi. From the time of Makar Sankranti on the banks of this pond, a huge fair of Hindus is held for about 30 days. People take a bath in the lake and go to the feet of Vasupujya Swami who is situated on the top of the mountain. Beyond the lake, there are many natural ponds on the hill, whose names Hindus have named Sita Kund, Shankh Kund, etc. The climb up the hill is a little over a mile. Some stairs and iron railings have also been installed by cutting the mountain to climb. In view of the convenience of the passengers, arrangement of doli is also there. At the top of the hill there is a huge Digambara Jain temple at the holy Nirvana place of Lord Vasupujya Swami. In the sanctum sanctorum, a very ancient step of the Lord is seated on the altar, one yard high.              

Mulvedi :- Shri Laxman Vasudev Karavane Digambar Jain, resident of Sangli got the altar renovated in the year 1957   The wall of the sanctum is three and a half cubits wide. The temple is very ancient. This temple is said to be about three thousand years old by the Department of Archeology. It consists of three ancient stage pairs. Seth Mathura Das Padmachand, Agra renovated its altar in the year 1985.    There was a Jain statue at the entrance of the temple, but it was destroyed. Its place is maintained. A small temple has been renovated by Babu Nirmal Kumar Jain, Ara, in which a couple of feet of the Lord are seated.            

Tapa Kalyanak :- After a little progress from the small temple, under a rock, the feet of the Lord remain at the place of penance. This huge rock is placed in such a way that a small open cave has been formed. This cave was renovated by Shri Ramchandra Dharmachandra Jain on behalf of Shri Laxmibai Agrawal in Veer Samvat 2491.

Khadgasana Statue :- Five feet tall God next to Nirvana Sthal of Lord Vasupujya Swamy< strong> There is a cave temple with a grand Khadgasan statue, which was established on 4 June 1996 in the presence of Acharya Shri Bharat Sagar Ji Maharaj. This idol was prepared and kept in Dharamsala below since 1991 and whenever an attempt was made to mount the statue on the mountain, – Then the idol was not allowed to be raised by some selfish elements. The case went to the High Court. Then thinking that there will be disturbance in the field,  Due to this the work was adjourned for a few days. Acharya Bharat Sagar Ji Maharaj made his debut in 1996. Then with his inspiration and the cooperation given by the Governor of Bihar assurance, the auspicious time for the installation of the statue was fixed on June 4, 1996. In the middle of the ascent of Mandargiri mountain, there are many temples revered by Hindu religious people. Therefore, the possibility was being expressed that by falsely promoting the installation of the idol, by instigating the sentiments of the people, disturbance would be present as was always the case. On the second day a miracle happened, while carrying the idol, it started raining heavily in the morning, due to which not a single person from the opposing side could dare to disturb this auspicious work. As a result, the idol of Shri ji was easily installed on the mountain in the midst of jai-kare.   

This Mandargiri mountain is considered to be most sacred for other religions especially Hindus. According to mythological stories, eleven gems were obtained by churning the ocean by gods and demons by churning this mountain. Therefore, the mark of that rope is clearly visible on the mountain. Temples, caves, and fragmentary idols of many Hindu deities are scattered on this mountain. In which Narasimha cave, the huge face of Madhu Katav is carved on the stone, which is worth seeing. In the year 2021, the Chief Minister of Bihar, Shri Nitish Kumar inaugurated the ropeway from the point of view of tourism  due to which the journey of the mountain  has become quite accessible  over time to the traveling tourists.
