Mahavir Janma Kalyanak Aangi Darshan

Mahavira (Mahāvīra), also known as Vardhamāna, was the twenty-fourth Tirthankara (ford maker) of Jainism.

In the Jain tradition, it is believed that Mahavira was born in early part of the 6th-century BC into a royal family in what is now Bihar, India.

According to later Jain texts, Mahavira’s childhood name was Vardhamāna (“the one who grows”),because of the increased prosperity in the kingdom at the time of his birth. According to the Kalpasutras (a popular text in Jainism), he was called Mahavira (“the great hero”) by the gods because he stood steadfast in the midst of dangers and fears, hardships and calamities.
