Singhai (also Sanghavi or Singhi from Sanskrit Sanghapati (संघपति), literally chief of the Sangha) is a hereditary title awarded in the past to leaders of the Jain Sangha [1].
Among the Digambara Jains the title is awarded for building a Jain temple with formal installation (Panch-kalyanak Pratishtha) of Tirthankara images with festivities, often accompanied with a gaja-ratha. Among the Shvetambar Jains it is awarded for conducting a mass pilgrimage to major tirthas.
