New Nakro Announcement
 
Day by day we are getting closer to the Grand Pratishtha Mahotsav of our new
Temples.   Many of us have generously donated money.  However, we still need your generous donations to help us pay all our contractors in time. Since a large number of Labhs on the Nakro list have already been taken, we have opened up new Labhs as listed below - 

a. Following 4 Labhs in the Shankheshwar Parshwanath Bhagwan (Shwetambar) Derasar Rang Mandap previously put on hold are now opened up and are available now for sponsorship:

S-38: Angi of Simandhar Swami Bhagwan in Rang Mandap
S-41: Angi of Chandra Prabhu Bhagwan in Rang Mandap
S-44: Angi of Mahavir Swami Bhagwan in Rang Mandap
S-47: Angi of Shantinath Bhagwan in Rang Mandap

b. We have added following 3 new Labhs in the Adinath Bhagwan (Digambar)
Derasar. As per our rule of waiting for 30 days for any new Nakro items, these Labhs will not be allocated before 29 March, 2023. You can fill up and send the Labh Sponsorship Form for taking any of these new Labhs but the allocation of Labh will be done on 29 March 2023
 
D-13B: Parikar for Adinath Bhagwan (Moolnayak) in Digambar Temple
D-14B: Parikar for Parshwanath Bhagwan in Digambar Temple

We urge all members to please review all available Labhs listed on the Fixed Nakro list including the new ones, and sponsor any available Labh by filling out the Nakro
Sponsorship Form, and sending it as detailed on the form.
