Particular themes-linked closely to the philosophy of Jainismare poignantly viewed, through painting, sculpture or narrative remarks, on the empty walls throughout the building (five lobbies and five halls). Since temples/upashraya are meant to stir the inner soul of each devotee, this idea of decorating the walls with Jain themes evokes a greater spirituality, consciousness and awareness for all; this Jain Center aims to absorb the mind, soul and body of every worshipper that comes to its doorstep. We have abided by civic regulations and spiritual guidance in constructing this center for Jains. JAI JINENDRA Jain Center of America Inc., New York - 376 -
