Shri Mahavir Praasad
(Shwetambar Jinmandir)
“A temple is the heart of religion, the epicentre of spirituality, the home of God, and a place of collective worship. Its divine magnetic field energises and recharges us. Through the charged vibrations, we experience peace and quietude. A temple inspires us to lead a pure life, and constantly uphold moral, religious and spiritual values. It fosters universal love and compassion.”
The majestic 108-pillar Shri Mahavir Praasad (Shwetambar Jinmandir) adorns the highest peak of Shri Dharampur Tirth. It is presided over by the serene and divine presence of Bhagwan Mahavir as its principal deity. It stands as a testimony to the timeless tenets of Jainism for generations to come.

Pure Pratimajis
The garbhagruh (sanctum) is the heart of the temple. It is a highly charged space radiating
divinity through seven enthroned soul-stirring pratimajis (idols).
In addition to a 55-inch pratimaji of
Bhagwan Mahavir as the principal deity,
Bhagwan Rushabhdev,
Bhagwan Shantinath,
Bhagwan Neminath,
Bhagwan Parshwanath,
the present Tirthankar (Omniscient Lord) Bhagwan
Simandharswami
and the future Tirthankar Bhagwan
Padmanabh have also been consecrated.
Thus, Tirthankars of the past, present and future, all sanctify the Jinmandir.
Gallant Gajpeeth
Sculpted around the front steps is a unique plinth of elephants. Among the exquisite array one can behold 16 depictions showcasing key historical events and inspirational stories based on Bhagwan Mahavir’s teachings.
The Glorious Gurumandir
Slip into Sublime Silence
A flight of stairs takes one beneath the Jinmandir, to the meditative expanse of the Gurumandir, the royal seat of Shrimad Rajchandraji, who is the guiding force behind the Mission. Like an enchanting magnet, Shrimadji’s idyllic presence pulls one within.
