Mahavir Jayanti 2025, set to grace us on April 10, marks the 2623rd birth anniversary of Lord Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism. Celebrated on the 13th day of the Chaitra month’s waxing moon, this sacred festival falls this year on a Thursday, with Trayodashi Tithi beginning at 10:55 PM on April 9 and ending at 1:00 AM on April 11, according to Drik Panchang. As India gears up for this gazetted holiday, businesses, banks, and schools will pause, reflecting the nation’s reverence for Mahavira’s timeless teachings.
Mahavir Jayanti 2025: Embracing Peace and Prosperity
This year, festivities promise grandeur, especially in hubs like Udaipur, where a four-day event from April 7-10 in Madri’s Gairiyawas area will feature seva, cultural evenings, and a majestic procession—details buzzing on X. Lord Mahavira, born in 599 BCE in Kundagrama (modern-day Bihar), inspires millions with his principles of ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truth), and aparigraha (non-attachment). In 2025, Jain communities worldwide will honor him through prayers, fasting, and charity, with Rath Yatras carrying his idol through streets symbolizing his enduring legacy.
As global challenges loom, Mahavir Jayanti offers a moment to reflect on ethical leadership and sustainable living—values resonating beyond Jainism into business and society. Join the celebration of peace and purpose this April!
