Summary

The project established a comprehensive database to investigate the history, relationships, and culture of Jaina mendicants and their interactions with householders. This effort involved cross-referencing numerous unconnected sources, including bio-bibliographical records and ancient epigraphs, focusing on specific religious lineages and social dynamics within this community. The initiative gained significant support from Dr. Jasvant N. Modi, Meera Modi, and their families, along with the Firodia Trust, the Jivdaya Foundation, and the BC Mehta Trust to ensure the preservation of critical historical and sociological data for future research on Jaina monastic and cultural history.
