Mahavira

Celebrated by the Jain community to observe peace and harmony and to spread the teachings of Lord Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism, Mahavir Jayanti marks the birth anniversary of the founder of Jainism or Mahavir Janma Kalyanak and is one of the most auspicious festivals for the Jain community. This immersive event will include the following:

  • Storytime: Children will learn about Jainism, its teachings, and the life of Lord Mahavira.
  • Chanting: Get into a meditative mindset with a Jain chant led by the Jain Center of America children's choir.
  • Food Tasting: Explore the foods and cuisines of the Jain faith. A tasting for the kids will follow the session.
  • Games: Learn about the critical tenets of Jainism and how we can apply them in our lives with interactive games for all ages.
  • Art: The lotus flower is meaningful in the Jain religion. Learn about its significance and make your own lotus flower! 

Join us for an interactive afternoon for the whole family!
