Beginnings and Historical Background: Lord Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara, is regarded as the final and most important disciple of God in ancient India, where Buddhism first arrived. Mahavira, who was born in the sixth century BCE, gave up on the material world in pursuit of wisdom and spiritual truth. His teachings, which highlight the idea of "kindness," or non-violence, as the most important virtue, serve as the basis of Jain philosophy.

Jainism is an ancient religion based on non-violence, compassion, and spiritual austerity which holds a wide range of festivals and celebrations. These demonstrate the richness of its cultural heritage and the depth of its spiritual tradition. Jain festivals are the best times for spiritual renewal, communal bonding, and reaffirmation of Jain values. In this article, we shall go through the lively world of Jain festivals and celebrations where we will reveal their importance, symbolism, and cultural diversity.

Mahavir Jayanti:The most important festival in Jainism is Mahavir Jayanti which marks the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavira, who is considered as the twenty-fourth Tirthankara (spiritual teacher) and founder of Jainism. It is celebrated on the 13th day of the bright half of the Chaitra month according to the Hindu lunar calendar (usually falling in March or April). Devotees celebrate this occasion with great pomp through elaborate ceremonies, devotional prayers as well as spiritual discourses. Jain temples are filled with devotees who come for prayer offering rituals or carrying procession bearing highly decorated idols of Lord Mahavira. The holiday helps people to think about life and teaching oh Lord Mahavira, thus affirming non-violence principles as well as truthfulness.

Jain Festivals and Celebrations: The Importance of Paryushan Parva, Mahavir Jayanti, and Other Jain RemarksJainism is one of the oldest religions in the world that is based on non-violence (ahimsa), truth (Satya), non-stealing (asteya), chastity (brahmacharya) and non-possessiveness (aparigraha). These principles are portrayed through Jain festivals and celebrations which possess a rich cultural background full of deep spiritual meanings, austere practices, and enthusiastic participation by the entire community. Some of these festivals include Paryushan Parva, and Mahavir Jayanti among others.

Paryushan Parva: The Festival of Forgiveness and Self-DisciplineParyushan Parva is known as the most important festival in Jainism which is characterized by deep thoughts, purification of oneself, and renewing one’s spirituality. Every year its celebration takes eight days for Shwetambar Jains while for Digambar Jains it goes on for ten days.

Ahimsa: Going Beyond the Principle of Non-Violence The fundamental tenet of Jain philosophy is ahimsa, which is commonly translated as non-violence. In Jainism, ahimsa encompasses not just not harming others physically but also one's words and ideas. Investigating the ways in which ahimsa practice can impact our day-to-day relationships, moral decisions, and even our relationship with the environment provides a path toward a life that is more harmonious and compassionate.

Jain Dharma, too known as Jainism, is an antiquated religion that started in India. It is based on the lessons of Tirthankaras, or "ford-makers," who were otherworldly pioneers who accomplished illumination and guided others to the way of freedom.

Jainism is one of the oldest religions in India that follows non-violence (ahimsa), compassion, and respect for all life forms. This religion has deep insights into modern ecological and nutritional problems as it looks at ways of dealing with environmental ethics from a Jain perspective. The paper discusses such issues as conservation, sustainable living, or global vegetarianism/veganism which are greatly influenced by this faith.

Durable Development and Conservation in Jain Environmental Ethics:One of the major teachings of Jainism is conservation. According to this belief system, every creature including plants and animals has a soul (jiva). Thus, they should be treated equally with love and care because we are all interconnected within nature’s web. Non-violence towards ecology has been given priority by Jains who believe that if we harm any part of these delicate balances then whole life will be affected negatively.

Ecologically-friendly Lifestyle based on Non-violence Concept towards NatureAnother principle concerning ecological balance or harmony is known as parihara which means avoiding harming living things unnecessarily whether small or big ones through thoughtless actions such as overconsumption; so being mindful about what needs to be done without causing harm.
