Review highlights
- An ex-student reviewer explicitly notes this hostel is 'for Murtipujak Jain community students only' - good sect-specific match if that's relevant to you, but confirms it's not open to general pilgrims
- A separate review complains of 'too many strict rules' for the age group
- One review is unrelated (mentions a Service Tax office at the same address) - the building may house multiple offices, so confirm the exact hostel entrance/floor on arrival.
From publicly available Google Maps listings and reviews — please reconfirm by phone before travelling.
