During Mahavir’s birth, the surroundings were believed to be extremely peaceful. Gods and goddesses from the heavens pay homage to the Tirthankara.

After twelve years of continuous meditation under an Ashoka tree, Mahavir Jain attained enlightenment.

Mahavir travelled across India and delivered His lessons to eradicate superstition and other false beliefs. He established dharma in order to establish moral values, ethics, and truthfulness.
