Siddhachalam is the first and the only Jain Tirth (pilgrimage centre) outside India. Siddhachalam is located in an idyllic setting in rural New Jersey on a 120 acre land site. The main temple has magnificent marble idols of Lord Adinath, Lord Parshvanath, Lord Mahavir, Lord Chandraprabhu, and Lord Shantinath.
There is also a small temple where the main idol is that of Lord Parshvanath. It is a magnificent idol in black marble.
Arti and puja worship is performed every morning as well as evening. The timing varies according to the season and times of sunrise and sunset.
There are several cottages at Siddhachalam and there is a facility for overnight stay for those who wish to perform morning pujas or attend camps or spiritual retreats.
Every year during the months of late spring, summer, and early autumn, monks and nuns visit Siddhachalam to worship as well as to lecture and to teach. Siddhachalam also organises some of the camps which are conducted by monks, nuns, and other teachers.
