Magnificent Jain temple consecrated at Songadh in Gujarat
Songadh, a small town in Bhavnagar district near Palitana, Gujarat has come up with a new temple with a 41-foot-high idol of Bhagwan Bahubali as well as a replica of the Jain Middle World with a 91-foot-high Sumeru Parvat near the existing complex of Jain temples and residences. The consecration ceremony took place from January 19 to January 26, 2024, and was attended by more than 25,000 devotees.
Shri Adinath Digambar Jinbimb Panchkalyanak Pratishtha Mahotsav was also graced by Home Minister of India Amit Shah who gloriously spoke on the importance of the celebration and the influence of Kanji Swami on his life. Cabinet Minister Piyush Goyal and Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel also attended the celebration on different days. The grandeur of the event included the optimal use of technology in the presentation of the plays and dramatization of the five grand events of a tirthankara’s lifetime: conception, birth, renunciation, omniscience, and liberation.
Kanji Swami, a twentieth-century Jain practitioner, delivered discourses on the Jain doctrine of the soul for about forty years and pioneered the spiritual revolution. He exercised his principles at Songadh which is now a hub for the practitioners of the Digambar Jain doctrines.
