These old / worn-out photographs were received from different sources over time.
On the occasion of Gurudev’s 50th death anniversary in 2004, I decided to develop this treasure into an exhibition as my tribute to the great soul. These were repaired and enlarged to their potential without compromising on their originality.
A bigger challenge for me was to identify the individuals present, location and the occasion at the time, as most images were blank.
So I had to research and consult with authentic sources for obtaining the relevant details and text to be added,
because I feel a photograph without its details is meaningless.
This collection is a source of inspiration for our young generation and restored ‘for generations to come’.
This was exhibited in 2004 at Ambala, in 2007 at Ludhiana and in 2009 at Delhi. Since then it has been displayed on my website.

Congratulations Jain Saheb. You have done an amazing job. It needs a lot of research and a laborious job to compile and and creat such an exhibition. A real tribute to worthy jainachariyas and treasure for Jain community. My all regards and respect for your such a creativity. The perfect audio boosted its impact to meditation level. One can feel peaceful feelings into the inner soul. My congrats once again.
Artistic & technical work of very high class done with lot of patience & time. Collecting very old photographs of Guru Maharaj Ji from different sources must have taken years, some of them even 100+ years old must have been collected in bad condition. Making enlargements of such big sizes from all of them is a huge task. Requires not just talent n techniques but dedication and above all FAITH Salute Brother
Your efforts to preserve our heritage and introduce Sri Vallabha Maharaj ji and his teachings to younger generation through rare photographs is laudable.Hats off to you
