Mahavir Jayanti 2026 is being celebrated on March 31, 2026, marking the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavir.
Lord Mahavir was born in 599 BCE in Kundagrama (present-day Bihar) and attained Kevala Jnana after 12 years of penance.
The festival promotes core Jain values of Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya, Asteya, Brahmacharya and Aparigraha.
Devotees observe prayers, fasting, meditation, Abhisheka, Rath Yatra and charity across India.
Major celebrations are taking place in Vaishali, Palitana, Ranakpur, Girnar and Shravanabelagola.
Mahavir’s teachings of non-violence and ethical living remain highly relevant in today’s world.
