Upkeśa Gaccha

Upkeśa Gaccha traced its name to Upkeśapattan, where tradition credits the monk Ratnaprabhasuri with opposing animal sacrifice. In 1336 its monk Kakkasuri wrote the Nabhi-nandana-jinoddhara-prabandha, an account of the renovation of a temple of Rishabhanatha. The work belongs to a medieval Sanskrit genre cultivated by Jain scholars in western India.
