The Tonk of Kumarpal is located in Girnar in Junagadh district in Gujarat. It is one of the five tonks of Girnar Mountain Range. The presiding deity of the temple is Sri Abhinandan Swami. The idol of the temple is almost 24 inch tall. There is a huge open space surrounding the main temple that leads to a big Rangmandap. Another small rangmandap is also built inside the former one.
The idol of the presiding deity of the temple, Sri Abhinandan Swami was established in the year 1834 by Jinendra Suri Maharaja. Towards the north of this temple there is a step well, Dedki. Earlier during the renovation of the temple pieces of broken or destroyed idols and statues were kept near this well. Towards the north side of the temple there is a Bhimkund.
Bhimkund
The Bhimkund of Tonk of Kumarpal is huge almost 30 feet long and 40 feet wide. It appears that the kund was built during the 14th century. Even during intense summers the water of this kund remains cold. The name of Sri Jinpratima has been inscribed on a stone of the wall of the temple. Apart from these, images of many disciples have also been inscribed on the walls. As one walks towards westward through the edge of the kund there are staircases that lead northwards. Towards the end of the staircase one approaches the Devkulika named as "Nagimata ki Deri." There is a stone plate in front of this Devkulika. On the left side of Devkulika the image of Lord Neminath and on the right side of Devkulika the image of Ambika Devi has been instilled. The construction of this Devkulika has been left incomplete. From this Tonk of Kumarpal one can proceed towards the Tonk of Sri Chandraprabhaswami.
