It means that the darkness of the night brightens the moon, and the moon enhances the beauty of the night, however both the moon and night compliment the grandeur of the sky: (just as) the lotus flower glorifies water, and water in turn) makes the lotus appear lovelier; but water and the lotus both, make the lake enchanting. Similarly the Moorties and the Temple with a vibrant united Sangh make our temple the Holy Tirth.
Dear JCA members take pride in your contributions, dedication and participation in this Pratishtha. Your love, faith and inspiration enlighten our heart. Our consecrated Tirthankars, will make our temple a symbol of unity, peace and harmony for the now and future generations. This Dehrasar belongs to all. Pledge to visit often with family, and friends. Mandir needs Darshanarthies, volunteers and donations. Support it and what it stands for without any reservation. To our youth, we welcome you wholeheartedly and request your active participation at all levels. You are the future of our center
CHOCoRooooooo
