Jain Society of Metropolitan Washington proudly unveils a spectacular 3D Model and a 3D Virtual Tour of their Future New Jain Temple
Silver Spring, MD, USA (Mar 27, 2017) – Jain Society of Metropolitan Washington (JSMW) organized a very successful Fundraising Gala event themed “Dreams to Reality” with the flagship attraction of the event – the unveiling of a stunning replica 3D model (scaled 1:40) and showing of a lifelike 3D virtual tour of their new Shikharbandhi (a temple with a dome) Jain Temple. In an afternoon filled with celebrations and philanthropy, three generation of JSMW members and guests walked down memory lane with video clips from the Prathistha Day (Consecration Day) of the current Jain Center from 1989 along with several clips from the Mahavir Janma Kalyanak (Birth of Lord Mahavira) programs over the past 20 years. Several members, who had performed as children in those events, were nostalgic to be attending the Gala with children of their own.
The Chief Guest, Dr. Vinod Shah, former president of AAPI and a well-known philanthropist and community leader, congratulated the JSMW Society on this milestone event and spoke about the importance of coming together as a community. JSMW Chairman, Dr. Sushil Jain, motivated the community members by his energizing speech. “The 3D virtual tour felt so real, and touched us all emotionally and spiritually”, said the JSMW first lady, Mrs. Meenal Zaveri.
JSMW members generously donated nearly $600,000 at the event, with the Society looking to break ground this summer.
