Happy Mahavir Jayanti

Mahavir Jayanti is a major festival in the Jain community that celebrates the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavir, the last Tirthankara (enlightened teacher) of the Jains. The festival usually falls in late March or early April and is observed with great reverence and devotion by Jains all over the world.



On this day, Jains visit temples to offer prayers and seek blessings. They also engage in charitable activities and practice austerity, fasting, and penance. The festival is marked by processions, religious discourses, and cultural events. The Jain community also organizes food drives, blood donation camps, and other social service activities.

Mahavir Jayanti is an occasion to reflect on the teachings and principles of Lord Mahavir, who preached non-violence, truthfulness, celibacy, and detachment from material possessions. His message of ahimsa (non-violence) and compassion for all living beings continues to inspire people around the world to lead a peaceful and harmonious life.
