We acknowledge their timely service and devotion for the construction of the Temple and installation of murtis of Bhagwan Parshvanath and Bhagwan Mahavir Swami on behalf of the Jain Center of Greater St. Louis.

Finally, we would like to thank Mr. Jiwan Singla and Hasmukh Mehta, both from St. Louis, MO, for spending many hours with shilpis in putting together the Dehrasar Temple in a short time. The team of Ganpathi Sthapati and associate under the supervision of Mr. S. Shivakumar did an excellent job of completing the Dehrasar. Helping in the construction of the Jain Dehrasar were Mr. M. Munuswamy, K. Chandrshekar, M. Panneerselum, G. Durai, G. Manishekaran and T. Rengaswamy, all visiting shilpis from India.
