A religion that prescribes non-violence towards all living beings. Although Jains form a very small community in the Islamic Republic today, Jainism in Pakistan has an extensive heritage and history.

Historic evidence indicates the presence of Jainism in the Indus Valley Civilization, which existed in Pakistan and northwestern India. Other archaeological evidences belonging to the Indus Valley Civilization of the Bronze Age in the India also support the antiquity of the Jain traditions and suggest the prevalence of the practice of worship of Rsabha- deva, the 1st Tirthankara, along with the worship of other deities. Many relics from the Indus Valley excavations suggest the prevalence of Jaina religion from 3500 to 3000 B.C, especially in the present Pakistani regions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1468893166059{padding-top: 95px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column][inwave_heading style=”style2″ title=”What We Do” preview_style4=””][inwave_quote style=”style2″ quote=”Our work is dedicated towards the preservation and conservation of ancient Jain temples, which serve as cultural, religious and social monuments of great value.
