We are very close to achieving our dream of building a world-class Shikharbandhi Derasar & associated building complex (Jain Center) in the suburb of Nation’s Capital.
Our dream will soon become a reality!
Many of us are tirelessly working countless hours every week to complete Phase 1 which includes the Derasars, Upashray, Sthanak, Library, Office, two classrooms, and other required facilities.
Param Pujya Rashtrasant Acharya Shri Padmasagar Suriswarji Maharaj Saheb has blessed us with Param Pratishtha Mahurat on Saturday, May 31st 2025 (Swetambar Pratishtha)
Digambar Pratishtha and Sthanak Inauguration is on Sunday, June 1st 2025.
We have a lot of preliminary/preparatory work to complete for a successful and auspicious Param Pratishtha Mahotsav.
The Pratishtha Core Team was established that has started working in earnest and meets every other Wednesday. The Pratishtha Core Team has planned over 27 Teams (a complete list is shared below) and is now seeking many subject matter expert volunteers and other volunteers to work towards our common goal of successfully completing the Grand Pratishtha Mahotsav. The commitment for most of the volunteers will be until completion of the Grand Pratishtha Mahotsav and for some it may be a few more months thereafter.
