Museum Takes Shape

Over the period of time Parshwanath Vidyapeeth has been repository of many artefacts, statues, coins, etc.

Some of these artefacts for donated by Jain community while others were required over a period of time. Last year it was decided to build a proper Museum to display the rich history of Jainism and other cultures that were existing in parallel.

A 10,000 square yard special annexe building was constructed for this purpose and now the Museum display is taking shape in the same. We believe that over the next one year we will have a world class museum operational at Parshwanath Vidyapeeth.

One of the centrepiece is Buddhist stupa pillar that was erected during the time Buddhism spread across the country.
