After two hours comfortably spent we got back to the centre where we arrived just in time for a meeting with other participants in the hall of Indian YMCA, which Dr. Peter Flügel, Chair of Jaina Studies at SOAS, had announced for those who already had arrived.

One of the many ornate ceilings at the temple. Many depict the vidyadevis, a group of sixteen goddesses. Sarasvati is not part of that group, but as the goddess of learning is found represented throughout the history of Jaina art."
