culture. The ancient cultural façade of antiquity which
has reflected the
zenith of ancient heritage has truly been portrayed

and also intellectually spreading the pomp and grandeur
of the eternal realisation along with publishing of
trilingual research journals in Bengali, Hindi and English.

publications all through the years. The Pralcrit and
Jainological Research Institute has been a sub division
of the Jain Bhawan which has been related with the enhancement
of Jain studies. Jain Bhawan, stands as a colossus in
the multi-institutional facade of Kolkata, dressed in
its finery and scholasticism along with a view of restoration
towards Dharma that is Jainism.
Jain Bhawan is a philanthropic organisation,
dedicated to propagate, restore and develop the multifarious
facets of Jainism and its global humanism. In today’s
bullet ridden and blood stained world, where terrorism

the basic tenets of Jainism based on mutual cooperation,
love &
non-violence is the only way to resolve these problems.
