Panipat Model Town Jain Mandir

The Jain community in Panipat consists of 100 to 150 families. Despite the relatively small size, the Jain community actively participates in various social programs. Due to the dispersion of Jain families across different areas of Panipat with time, the Digambar Jain Mandir were also built in different parts of the city. However, despite being in different areas, all temples are managed by the Panipat Bada Jain Mandir Digambar Jain Committee, situated just three kilometers away from the Panipat Pachranga Bazar. Attention is paid by the committee to the convenience of devotees visiting the temples, ensuring they face no difficulties during worship, rituals, and abhishek ceremonies. For the convenience of Jain pilgrims coming from outside, the Shri Digambar Jain Dharamshala has been constructed. The dharamshala has seven rooms and two large halls for pilgrims. Parking facilities are also available for vehicles of pilgrims coming from distant areas. Within the temple premises, facilities such as the Tyagi Bhavan and Aahar hall have been constructed for the Jain Saints. Additionally, a homeopathic center is operated by the temple committee, providing appropriate medicines at nominal charges. A Jain kids school up to the 5th grade is also situated within the temple complex.
