Fixed Nakro List
Date: January 3, 2025
Dear Sadharmik Brothers and Sisters,
Pranam,
Day by day we are getting closer to the Grand Pratishtha Mahotsav of our new Temples. Many of us have generously donated money. However, we still need your generous donations to help us pay all our contractors in time. Since a large number of Labhs on the Nakro list have already been taken, we have opened up new Labhs as listed below.
Following 12 new Fixed Nakro Labhs have been added in the Shri Parshwanath Bhagwan (Shwetambar) Derasar. The Disha Dev will be pre-installed in each Gokhala. As per our rule of waiting for 30 days for any new Nakro items, these Labhs will not be allocated before 3rd February, 2025. You can fill up and send the Labh Sponsorship Form for taking any of these new Labhs, but the allocation of Labh will be done on 3rd February, 2025:

Dear Sadharmik Brothers and Sisters,
Pranam,
As June 2026 approaches, we feel immense gratitude as we look back on the past year. Since Pratistha, the Jain Society of Metropolitan Washington (JSMW) has become a true home for our spiritual growth and is playing a significant role in our community bonding.
To mark this first anniversary, we invite your family to play a special role in honoring our Bhagwan. We have a few remaining Fixed Nakro Labhs for the creation (Nirmaan) of sacred ornaments for the Bhagwans. These are rare once in a lifetime opportunities to contribute and take the Labh that will have a big impact on the pratishtha legacy going forward.

The Labh: Your family will have the special opportunity to place the Aangi on the Bhagwan in the Rangmandap for the first time during our 1-Year Anniversary Celebration in June 2026.
** Note: For all precious stones Aangi, the Labh of placing Mughat & Kundal will be a Separate Gheeboli. Labharthi will only get to place the Aangi without the Mughat and Kundal.
Why This Matters
The Aangi represents the divine, radiant presence of the Tirthankara, while the Mughat (Crown) symbolizes their spiritual sovereignty. These silver pieces, hand-set with precious stones, are expressions of our collective devotion to the Idols. Taking part in their creation and placement is a way to serve the Jinendra bhagwan.
How to Participate
If your family is interested in these or any other items, please review the Fixed Nakro List. You can reach out to the Fundraising Committee (fundraising@jainsocietydc.org) to secure your Labh.
Let’s come together this June to celebrate how far we’ve come and ensure our temple continues to be a beautiful space for all.
With warm regards and Jai Jinendra,
Jain Society of Metropolitan Washington (JSMW)
