Abhay Prabhavana

The campus itself is studded with symbolic landmarks:

The Rishabhdev Statue: The Indian societal culture is formatted by the first Tirthankar, Rishabhdev.

The Manstambh: A 100 meter marble tower, carved with murals, related to enlightened social practices, leading to elevation of human soul.

The Plaza of Equanimity: An ultra modern conceptualization, of the centuries old approach to a “Chaturmukh Temple”. It provides a calming space, encouraging spirituality and introspection.

Supporting facilities include the Kundanmal Firodia Auditorium (170 seat seminar and lecture hall), Taxila Library with rare texts and digital archives, and two gallery wings – Baijabai for travelling exhibits and Jamnabai for private collections.

Rather than housing antiques, the museum offers a deeply immersive experience featuring an impressive collection of over 350 commissioned artworks, audio-visual displays, interactive kiosks, VR installations, and touch-table narratives that explore enduring Jain principles like Ahimsa, Aparigrah, Anekantvad, Kshama, etc.

By blending ancient wisdom and contemporary technology, Abhay Prabhavana not only preserves Jain Heritage but transforms it into a vibrant museum of ideas, inviting reflection, introspection, and timeless relevance for today’s audience.
