Lord Mahavir, also known as Vardhamana, was born in 599 B.C. in Kundalagrama, located in present-day Vaishali district of Bihar. He was a spiritual teacher who shaped the core principles of Jainism, such as non-violence (Ahimsa), truth (Satya), and non-possessiveness (Aparigraha). He attained Moksha (liberation) in 527 B.C. at the age of 72.
Mahavir Jayanti is a sacred day for Jains around the world. Devotees celebrate by visiting temples, participating in processions, offering prayers, and engaging in charitable acts. The teachings of Lord Mahavir continue to inspire millions to follow the path of peace, compassion, and self-discipline.
