Shri Digamber Jain Temple of Virginia
Situated in Northern Virginia, this temple is the world's first dedicated to the Digamber Jain faith that features the three tirthankaras Parshvanath, Chandraprabhu, and Shantinath Bhagwan, carved out of semi-precious stones. Covering an area of 9,000 square feet, the temple includes a Garbh Gruha (shrine), a decorated prayer room, a religious library, and additional facilities.
Thanks to the efforts of the Youth International Digambar Jain Organization and its partner, IDJO, the temple has emerged as a significant cultural and spiritual hub for the Jain community in Northern Virginia. It acts as a center for religious activities, community events, and educational programs, promoting the teachings of Jainism across all age groups.
