Jain Center of Northern California
Overview: The Jain Center of Northern California (JCNC) is a unique membership-run, non profit organization incorporating the innovative and progressive life style of over 700 Jain families in the Silicon Valley and San Francisco Bay Area while sustaining the religion with its roots back to 900 B.C. The JCNC was founded in 1973 with a membership of 20 families. Today the membership has grown to over 600 families in the San Francisco Bay Area. With the blessing of Shri Adinath Bhagawan, JCNC celebrated one of the most memorable and historical Pratishtha Mahotsav of JAIN BHAWAN from August 4-8, 2000.
