6TH BIENNIAL JAINA CONVENTION 1991
Jain Center of Southern California's participation in this joyous, historical event is of great significance. Jain Center of Southern California was instrumental in the founding of the Federation of Jain Associations in North America (JAINA) and hosted its first convention in Los Angeles in 1981.
Jain Center of Southern California celebrated the third anniversary of the Jain Bhavan and Derasar inauguration on June 29, 1991. Jain Bhavan is an outstanding facility which was custom designed to serve the religious, cultural, and social needs of the Jain community. The Ghabhara shown above houses the murtis of three Thirthankars - Lord Mahavir in the center, Lord Rushabhdev on the left, and Lord Parshvanath on the right respectively. The idols of Ghantakarna Mahavir (Yaksha) and Padmavati Devi (Yakshini) are housed in two Gokhs.
