Abhay Prabhavana is a Museum and Knowledge Centre rooted in timeless Indian values, inspired by the Jain tradition. It is envisioned as a space for learning, reflection, and meaningful exploration where philosophy, history, art, and lived experiences come together.
Set on the serene banks of the Indrayani River, the museum invites visitors to slow down and engage with ideas that continue to shape ethical living, inner balance, and thoughtful action in today’s world. Through curated hi-tech galleries, 350+ artworks, immersive storytelling, and open-air experiences, Abhay Prabhavana presents ancient wisdom in a form that feels relevant, accessible, and deeply human.
The museum has been developed over a decade under the vision and leadership of Shri Abhay Firodia, in collaboration with scholars, artists, thinkers, and educators.
OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
OUR PURPOSE
FOUNDER'S MESSAGE
At its heart, every value system exists to help individuals live with clarity, confidence, and inner peace, while contributing meaningfully to society. True fulfilment lies not in withdrawal from the world, but in finding balance between personal well-being, ethical conduct, and collective progress.
The Jain tradition offers a thoughtful way of life that recognises different paths for different people. It guides those who seek spiritual depth, while equally encouraging productive, responsible, and prosperous living for those engaged in the world. Its emphasis is not on restraint alone, but on awareness, compassion, openness of thought, and ethical action.
Often misunderstood in narrow terms, this way of life is defined not by birth or ritual, but by values; education, enterprise, and ethics lived in everyday choices. From its earliest ideas on social harmony to later teachings on non-violence, balance, and forgiveness, it presents principles that remain deeply relevant today.
To share timeless values through immersive experiences, encourage independent inquiry, and help visitors reflect on ideas that support ethical living, inner balance, and a harmonious society.
