Kolhua Hill is in Chatra district of Jharkhand in India. It lies about 6 miles south east of Hunterganj. The height of the hill is 1,575 feet and from the top one finds an excellent view around. The top of the hill is quite distinctive and is known as " Akash Lochan"(Sky Eye). There are some ancient temples, the most important of which is a temple of ' Kali' known as 'Kauleshwari Devi' On Basant panchami and Ram navmi days, a large number of pilgrims flock to the hill top for worship. There is a controversy about the tructure of the temple. Dr.M.A.Stein, who visited the hill in 1900, claimed that they were built by the Jains, who venerated it as the birth - place of the tenth Trithankar, Sitala Swami. It is, however, associated by the local Hindus with Pandwa brothers. One of the rock cut is a group of ten Digambari Jain Trithankars. In a cave, there is small image which is now worshipped by the Hindus. However, the image is also claimed to be the image of Parshvanath with a hood over the head. The hood looks like the hoods of several snakes. It is worth mentioning here that the Dhyani Mudra image of Parshvanathe, the 23rd Jain Tirthankar with the snake hood over the head is common. Only a few years back, three Jaina images were removed and taken away to Gaya for worship by the Jains themselves, villagers claim. If there is a controversy, let it be. It should not act as deterrent for people who intend to visit the hill to see the beauty of it. There is also a big tank near the temple and the surroundings are excellent. One can also see wildlife including langoors , beer , deer , neelgai , leopords and a variety of beautiful birds. The jungle is also beautiful.
