Jain Samaj Europe (Leicester)

Jain Samaj Europe (Leicester) The Jain Centre development took place over eight years, in the heart of Leicester City after purchasing an old spacious church building.

The Jain Centre

The Jain Centre in Leicester is the first consecrated Jain Temple in the western world where visitors come
from all over the world for worship. The vision was to establish a modern european centre for Jains of all sects, where they all worked together hand in hand, in order to practice and promote the Jain doctrine. The front elevation of the building has transformed the landscap

e of the area and one cannot fail to admire the view, whilst passing. This development of the Jain Centre in Leicester, has been made possible through friendship, goodwill and support of a great number of individuals and organisations.

n Loving Memory of Kailash Kirit Shah
23rd March 1956 - 11th April 2026

Born in Morbi, India, Kailashben was lovingly raised in Luton by her parents and cherished by her brothers, who held her close to their hearts. In 1975, she married Kiritkumar Chimanlal Shah and became a pillar of the family and a beloved daughter, mother, bhabhi, bhaboo and grandmother known for her love, care and selfless devotion to others.

She loved unconditionally, and her faith and inner strength guided her through every stage of life. With quiet dignity, compassion, and devotion, she touched the lives of all who knew her, leaving behind a lasting legacy of love, family, and faith.
She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her nearest and dearest. May her soul rest in eternal peace, and may her memory continue to bless and guide us. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered with love.

Husband: Kiritkumar Chimanlal Shah
Children: Ajay, Tina, Jayesh
