The Jain New Year is celebrated by the Jain community on the day after Diwali, marking a fresh start in the Vikram Samvat calendar. For Jains, this day holds deep significance as it commemorates Lord Mahavira’s Nirvana (liberation), symbolizing spiritual renewal and reflection.
Celebrations include visiting temples, performing prayers, and seeking blessings from elders. Many observe traditional customs such as wearing new clothes, decorating homes with rangoli (colorful patterns), and sharing festive meals with family and friends. The day emphasizes values like forgiveness, new beginnings, and strengthening community bonds.
