Mahavira Jayanti

Mahavira Jayanti is the celebration of the birth of Lord Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara in Jainism, observed annually to honor his spiritual teachings. Born around 599 BCE in present-day India, Mahavira emphasized non-violence, truth, and compassion. Devotees participate in prayer, meditation, and charitable activities, reflecting his message of ethical living. The festival typically falls in March or April, depending on the lunar calendar, and serves as a reminder of Jain principles aiming to purify the soul and promote peace and harmony in society.
