JAIN FESTIVALS
Lesson 28 - Jain Festivals
Mahävir Janma Kalyanak (Mahavir Jayanti)
We all enjoy celebrating our birthday. We can celebrate our Bhagawan's birthday, too. Bhagawan Mahävir swami's birthday comes in March or April. On this day we decorate the temple. We carry Bhagawän's idol in a chariot in a big procession with band music and dancing. We do Pujä in the Deräsar. Some times children participate in the plays acting out the story of life of Bhagawan
Mahävir.
