The Jaina Stupa at Mathura: Art & Icons
Last but not the least without the co-operation of my family, such a difficult task of Jainism could not be completed. My father Hiralal Shah, father-inlaw Adv. V. C. Porwal, and mother-in-law Liladevi had encouraged me for further studies after I passed LL.B. My mother Saroj Shah, fully devoted to Jainism, wanted me to do some research work in Jaina's forgotten past, I, tried to achieve her wish. I am very much thankful to my grandson Akshat, daughter-in-law Rakhi, son Rahul and husband Jinendra, my brother-in-laws Rajendra, Surendra, Virendra and brother Prakash. While visiting Delhi, Lucknow, Indore, Mathura, Bulsar etc. I received great support from the families of Mr. Ramanlal Parekh, Dr. Shobhit Singhi, Nitin-Mohan Mittal, Mr. Rajendra Pandit, Mr. Sanjay Jain, Piyush Jain and many more.
I offer my gratitude towards them.
