________________ JAINA CONVENTION 2017 Best Wishes to the JAINA 2017 Convention SHIKHARJI AT SIDDHACHALAM The world's first, to-scale, complete replica of Teerthadhiraj Shikharji was opened at Siddhachalam Jain Tirth on August 13, 2012, after four days of joyous and graceful Pratishtha celebrations. That day, Jains became the first religious community to have replicated in North America their most important place of pilgrimage. The project to replicate Teerthadhiraj Shikharji at Siddhachalam began in early 2009 and was completed in 2012. A yatra of all Tonks commencing and closing at Ganadhar Shri Gautam Swami's Tonk is approximately 5.6 miles (9 km.) in Shikharji and 1.97 miles (3.2 km.) in Siddhachalam. The Shikharji at Siddhachalam Tonk is similar to a typical Tonk at Shikharji in terms of size and shape. Please visit and enjoy the Spiritual Vandana of Shikarji at Siddhachalam.
