Mahavir Jayanti is extremely important to the Jain community since it commemorates the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavira, one of Jainism’s most revered Tirthankaras. The respected Tirthankara was born on the 13th of Shukla Paksha in the month of Chaitra. The birth anniversary of this spiritual leader and the final Tirthankara (teaching God) of Jainism is commemorated on Mahavir Jayanti. In 599 BCE, he was born as Vardhamana in Kundagrama, a tiny hamlet near Vaishali in Bihar, India.
