Universal Message of Lord Mahāvīra
the month of Mārgaśīrṣa (Krşņa-Daśamī) seated in a golden palanquin, in a magnificent procession in full public view.”
Even today, whenever there is a renunciation in a Jaina household, the renunciation is taken in a gorgeously - decorated coach, splendidly attired, and in a grand procession, in full public view!
Mahāvīra was the prince of Kundagrāma, whereas Buddha was the prince of Kapilavastu. The latter founded a new religion - Buddhism, whereas the former consolidated an existing one.
