The Jain community celebrated a presence of 100 years in Singapore marking the occasion by rededicating the "Stanak" and consecrating the idol of Mahavira.
This brings together the two main sects of Jains - Śvetāmbara and Digambara.
The Singapore Jain Religious Society engages in keeping traditions and practices alive by transmitting Jain principles to the next generation.
The community has no temple, but the Singapore Jain Religious Society has a building at 18 Jalan Yasin.
[1] Jains have settled in Singapore since the beginning of this century just before or after the first world war (1910 – 1914).
