The window, the reason it is that window, and an honest answer about what we will not publish.
Mahavir Jayanti follows Trayodashi of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra. The ritual window is set by the tithi and by the position of the moon relative to the lagna for your location — which is why the same festival has a slightly different puja window in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai even though the civil date is the same.
Because of that, we do not publish city-by-city muhurat minutes. Getting a muhurat wrong is a genuinely harmful error — people plan their day, their travel and their leave around it — and we cannot verify every city against a reliable panchang. A number we cannot stand behind is worse than telling you where to look.
For the exact window in your city, check a location-specific panchang or your family’s usual almanac. What we can tell you reliably is the date, the day of the week, whether it is a multi-day observance, and where the date itself differs between regions — all of which is below.

Mahavir Jayanti 2026
Mahavir Jayanti falls in late March 2026, on the Trayodashi of Chaitra Shukla Paksha. Confirm the exact date against a Jain calendar.
It marks the birth of Mahavira, the twenty-fourth and final tirthankara, who systematised Jain philosophy into the five vows that define modern Jain practice — non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, celibacy and non-attachment.
Many do, and the strictness varies by household and sect. Some keep a complete fast, others take a single meal, and nearly all avoid meat, alcohol and root vegetables on the day.
Palitana in Gujarat has over nine hundred Jain temples on the Shatrunjaya hill, the largest Jain temple complex in the world. It is the principal pilgrimage site and holds the largest Mahavir Jayanti gathering.
