About Mahavir Jayanti

18 April 2027

Mahavir Jayanti (Janma Kalyanak) is among the most important Jain festivals—celebrating the birth of Mahavira, who taught rigorous ahimsa, truthfulness, and non-attachment. Temples hold abhisheka, processions (rath yatra), and discourses. Devotees practise charity, avoid harm, and renew vows of compassion toward all living beings. On Madhuma you will find calm festival essentials—incense, diyas, and puja items—so your Mahavir Jayanti observance feels ready and sincere.
