But, we feel highly dignified in presenting this historical work in your hands at the occasion of the Kundalpur Mahotsava-2004 on the completion of the new development of the Birthplace of Lord Mahavir-Kundalpur (Nalanda), a project tuned towards the success of the celebration of 'Bhagwan Mahavir 2600th Birth
