Bahubaleshwar Temple

A Sanctuary of Spirituality and Learning

Nestled in the serene countryside of Village Gharbhara, Greater Noida, Bahubaleshwar Temple is a unique new spiritual and educational center dedicated to Jain Bhagwan Bahubali. Spread across two acres of lush farmland, the temple offers a tranquil retreat for meditation, learning, and devotion.

At its heart stands a magnificent 23-foot-tall monolithic granite statue of Bhagwan Bahubali, elevated on a conical podium. This striking structure, set against the vast backdrop of open skies and verdant fields, mirrors the grandeur of Shravanabelagola, earning it the title “Shravanabelgola of the North.” The podium, designed with stadium seating for 150 devotees, serves as a sacred space for pujas and insightful discourses by esteemed scholars.

The temple’s Panchkalyanak Mahotsav, held from February 21 to February 23, 2025, was a momentous event, under the auspieces of 108 Acharya Shri Shrutsagar Muniraj Ji and Muni Shri Anuman Sagar Ji. The grand Mahamastakabhishek on February 23, 2025, witnessed an overwhelming gathering of over 1,000 devotees, creating an atmosphere of deep devotion and spiritual bliss.

A Hub for Intellectual and Spiritual Growth

Beyond its role as a place of worship, Bahubaleshwar Temple aspires to be a center for knowledge and discourse, inviting scholars to explore the scientific, rational, and philosophical dimensions of Jainism. Rather than focusing solely on rituals, the temple emphasizes the practical relevance of Jain principles in modern life, especially for the younger generation.

With its serene ambiance, commitment to sustainability, and dedication to intellectual enlightenment, Bahubaleshwar Temple stands as a beacon of spirituality, knowledge, and peace – a true haven for seekers of wisdom and tranquility.

Miyawaki Forest

The Miyawaki method, developed by Akira Miyawaki, is a technique for creating dense forests quickly using native species of plants. These forests grow quickly, becoming self-sustaining in 2-3 years and maturing in 20-30 years, much faster than natural forests. They attract various forms of wildlife and are 100 times more biodiverse than other forest.

In our forest, we have planted approx. 5000 trees/shrubs in 45 different spieces and size in an area of 1800 sqm.
