To mark the tenth Jaina Studies Workshop of the Centre of Jaina Studies at SOAS, the conference will celebrate the role of art and architecture in the Jaina tradition. It will focus both on objects of art themselves and on the Jain attitudes towards and ways of using religious art and architecture. Contributions are invited on Jaina sacred places, Jaina temples and temple worship, iconography, as well as on painting, design, scripts and manuscript illustrations, and related issues.
