Sundarśrī

(1859–1937) Born into a Jain family in Sevadi, Rajasthan, she was initiated as a Tapā-gaccha nun shortly after her husband died. Around 1904 Sundarśrī was reportedly visited in a dream by Nākoḍā Bhairava, inspiring her to come to Nākoḍā, where she was instrumental in raising funds and increasing the popularity of the shrine.
