The Abhay Prabhavana Museum, arguably the largest “Museum of Ideas” dedicated to Jain philosophy and Indian heritage, has officially inaugurated amidst much anticipation and interest. Established by Abhay Firodia, Chairman of the Amar Prerana Trust, the museum represents a significant milestone in preserving and promoting India’s spiritual legacy.
This landmark event drew esteemed dignitaries, scholars, and leaders who gathered to celebrate the museum’s mission: to instill a deeper understanding of Jain values, their crucial impact on the Indian value system, and its relevance in contemporary society.
The inauguration was graced by the presence of Shri Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister, alongside His Highness Jyotiraditya Scindia, Union Minister, and Maharaja of Gwalior.
