The 151-inch tall statue is comprised of Ashtadhatu– 8 metals- gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, tin, iron and antimony or mercury- with copper being the major constituent. It is installed at Vijay Vallabh Sadhana Kendra, Jetpura, in Pali, Rajasthan.
Shree Vijay Vallabh Surishwer Ji Maharaj (1870-1954) led an austere life as a Jain Saint working selflessly and dedicatedly to spread the message of Lord Mahavira.
He also worked relentlessly for the welfare of masses, the spread of education, and eradication of social evils. He has written inspiring literature (poetry, essays, devotional hymns and Stavans) and gave active support to the freedom movement and the cause of Swadeshi.
