Dear Acharyaji,
With many thanks I acknowledge the receipt of 23 photographs, of holy places, of the Siddhachakra, of the copy of Sripalacaritra and of the Samavasaranastava. All these are very useful for my work. Very good are especially the photographs of Adinath's statue in Shatrunjaya and of the scenery in Mt. Abu etc. They will give the readers of my book a good idea of Jaina holy places. Could you kindly send me one or two photographs of the interior of the Jain temples. I have a photograph of the interior of temple in Mt. Abu and of its beautiful ceiling, but I should like very much to reproduce also a photograph of the interior of temples in other places.
I know what a Samavasarana is, for I have read the article in India Antiquary. My question concerns the actual use of the reproduction of the Sanavasarana, you were sending Was it made for the initiation of a monk, for a wedding Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
me.
