Four of the winners of Gujarat came from Ahmedabad and one of the letters.
The top two winners are siblings aged 10 and 14 years.
Overall, 2,000 from the Jain community took part in the contest.
They put people from India, the US, Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia.
The youngest winner is Dhairya Parikh, 10, which stands first.
The oldest, Mahesh Shah, 78 years old and fifth place.
Both of Ahmedabad.
Another winner of Gujarat is Nishkha Parikh (Ahmedabad), Dhairya’s sister; Hetal Shah (letter); and Rameshchandra Shah (Ahmedabad).
Every winner is cut off from the digital world for 50 days stretching, away from all gadgets worth 1,050 hours from a total of 1,200 hours where the contest runs.

The contestants must avoid all digital stimuli, including those from TV, starting at 9am to 9 nights per day for 50 days.

“I use a telephone to talk to people only when it is very necessary,” he said.
Kevin Mehta, the Foundation’s social media executive, said: “Participants have the opportunity to take spiritual activities and spend time with themselves.” Since the beginning, Jain Foundation has held more than 110 webinars under its flagship jain talk, which includes philosophy, religion, ritual, service, education and architecture.
