The Jain community in Hyderabad is preparing for the inauguration of a Dhyan Mandir at the historic Shri Jain Kushal Dadawadi temple in Karwan on Sunday, November 15, as part of the ongoing Chaturmas observances.
Organisers said the meditation shrine, described as the first of its kind in Telangana, would feature all 24 Tirthankaras and Dadaguru. The inauguration will take place under the guidance of Gachhadhipati Acharya Shri Jin Maniprabh Sagarji Maharaj.
The spiritual leader has been in Hyderabad since August, conducting religious discourses and guiding devotees through various rituals during Chaturmas, a four-month period of religious observance that concludes in November.
Pravin Kumar Jain, an organiser, said the Acharya had undertaken an approximately 5,000-km barefoot journey, known as Vihar, from Barmer and Jaisalmer through Surat, Mumbai, Jalna and Nanded before reaching Hyderabad.
He said the community was eagerly awaiting Sunday’s inauguration, describing the Dhyan Mandir as a unique spiritual landmark.
Organising committee members said several religious ceremonies had been conducted under the Acharya’s guidance, including 262 Anjanshalaka and Pratishtha Mahotsavs, 167 Diksha ceremonies, 24 Chhari Palit Sanghs and 17 Upadhan Tap programmes.
