We bow to Lord Mahavir whose idol will be installed during Pratishtha ceremonies right here in this building.
This is a dream come true.

We especially thank the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee for giving us a helping hand all along for the last 5 years. We thank all the Tapasvis for observing Ayambil till upcoming Pratishtha.
