94. Jalmandir is the magnificent replica of Pawapuri Jal Mandir and is specially prepared for the convention by the talented Mr. Nipul Shah of San Jose. Yes, the same Nipul Shah who had created the Choumukhi temple at the last JAINA Convention is going to present another marvel that will forever be etched in the memory of anyone visiting the 2001 JAINA Convention. The Jal Mandir will have Lord Mahavir's deity in both Shwetambar and Digambar forms, as well as a Namokar Mantra tablet.

The unveiling of the Jal Mandir will be the beginning of JAINA's yearlong celebration of 2600th Birth Anniversary of Lord Mahavir.
