IQAC and Jain Mandal celebrated Mahavir Jayanti Monday, 06th April 2020 in the library hall at 10.30am onwards. Jain Mandal Convener Asst.Prof. Ankita S.Gawade and speaker Asst. Prof. Monali K. Patankar informed students about the Mahavir Jayanti.
Mahavira was born to King Siddhartha and Queen Trishala, in the Ikshvaku dynasty. The legend states that during the pregnancy period the mother of Mahavira had a number of auspicious dreams. In Jainism, such dreams during the pregnancy indicate the arrival of a great soul. King Siddhartha interpreted the total of sixteen dreams that the queen had seen. It is also believed that upon the birth of Mahavira, Devraj Indra performed Abhisheka, which is the ritualistic anointment on Sumeru Parvat.
