PM Modi Inaugurates Samrat Samprati Museum At Koba Tirth

06 Apr 2026 CW Team

The museum was conceived by saints to present Jain wisdom in modern formats and to preserve heritage. It has seven galleries, with the first presenting the Navpad and the fourfold principles of Samyak darshan, Samyak gyan, Samyak charitra and Samyak tap, and a third gallery depicting the Tirthankaras and their teachings. The opening acknowledged the role of innovation in preservation.

The Prime Minister invoked Samrat Samprati as a ruler who treated power as service, expanded ahimsa from the throne and propagated satya, asteya and aparigraha, presenting the museum as a bridge between thought and practice. He observed that the institution also recognises Vedic, Buddhist and other traditions and exemplifies unity in diversity. The museum is expected to inspire visitors to carry these teachings worldwide.

Officials highlighted the manuscript collection gathered over decades by Acharya Bhagwant Shri Padmasagar Surishwarji Maharaj Saheb, whose 60 year search yielded over 0.3 mn manuscripts on palm leaves and birch bark now compiled at Koba. The government has launched the Gyan Bharatam Mission (GBM) to digitise, scientifically preserve and archive ancient manuscripts, and is running a nationwide survey for citizen uploads.

The Prime Minister described the GBM and Koba Tirth collaboration as part of a wider cultural renaissance including temple restoration, pilgrimage development and projects such as the Maritime Museum at Lothal, the museum at Vadnagar and the planned Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum in Delhi. He expressed confidence that the Samrat Samprati Museum will become a vital centre of knowledge, sadhana and culture and will inspire scholars and visitors from across the globe.
