Trip Description
Bihar’s Jain Teerth Yatra is a sacred journey through the land where Lord Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara, was born, attained nirvana, and preached the path of non-violence and truth.
This spiritually enriching pilgrimage weaves through some of Jainism’s most revered sites. Vaishali marks the birthplace of Lord Mahavira, while Pawapuri is where he attained moksha—its serene Jal Mandir, built in the middle of a lotus-filled lake, is a jewel of devotion. Rajgir and Lachhuar house ancient temples and caves where Jain monks meditated, echoing centuries of ascetic wisdom. The circuit not only offers darshan at these divine shrines but also immerses pilgrims in Bihar’s timeless spiritual aura, where stone and silence speak of liberation. Ideal for seekers and heritage lovers alike, the Jain Teerth Yatra in Bihar is a profound blend of history, faith, and inner awakening.
