As we prepare to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of JCA Bhagwan Mahaveer Pratima Ji, we are thrilled to announce a grand parade (Varghoda) taking place on November 17th.

This event, organized by the Jain Center of America (JCA), will be a powerful celebration of Bhagwan Mahaveer’s teachings and a reflection of the diverse and harmonious spiritual traditions within our community.

We humbly request your participation and support in this historic event. Whether through organizing a float, encouraging community members to participate, or offering other forms of support, your involvement will help us make this event a true reflection of Jain unity and diversity.
