 -Art and Architecture of Jain Temples in India (Under Construction)

 

The Digambar Jain Mandir, Pushpanjali Enclave is situated in North West Delhi, Pitampura, within Pushpanjali Enclave. In the neighborhood area there are number of colonies and Group housing societies like Rohini, Pitampura, Saraswati Vihar, West enclave, Tarun Enclave, Deepali, Gujrat Apartments, Brij Vihar, Jeewan Vihar, Sansad Vihar, Milan Vihar and many more. The residents of these colonies enjoy the privilege of the Jain Temple.

About ten years back it was felt by the residents of the colonies to have a mandir of their own. Accordingly, a temporary mandir was constructed in one of the parks within Pushpanjali Enclave. The park was enmarked for the community services of the residents of the Pushpanjali Enclave. By and by the funds raising was going on and hardly after a year the thatched structure was converted into a temporary cemented structure.

This arrangement was not acceptable to Delhi Development Authorities and the structure was demolished by them. However the political pressure forced the DDA to allot the same land admeasuring 400 sqm to the Digambar Jain sabha, Pushpanjali, Delhi for the construction of the Digambar Jain Mandir. There was great shortage of funds during this period. However the funds were raised and the payment of land was made to the DDA, Delhi well within the time limit.

Now our mandir consists of a big hall with a front veranda. This has a red stone roofing and brick walls. There is a proper Vaidi where the idol of Lord Mahaveer ji has been placed for performing daily Prakshal and Pooja. This has been going on for many years.

Now the residents and members desire that the funds be arranged for the construction of Pucca Mandir with a Shikhar on top of it. The architects have started their job and the final plans after approval will be ready in hand for the say by the mid of year 2004. After the finalization of plans etc., a copy of the same will be displayed on the web site. The Digambar Jain Sabha, Pushpanjali, Delhi is a registered body under the Societies Act as applicable for Delhi.
