The Tirthankar Janma Kalyanak festival is being celebrated with devotion and religious fervour at the Jain Bagh temple in Daliganj, Lucknow. Special religious rituals are being organised as part of the five-day Panchkalyanak festival. During the celebrations, the Lord was anointed with 1008 sacred pitchers. A large number of devotees from the Jain community took part in the religious event and offered prayers according to ritual practice.
Acharya Subal Sagarji Maharaj’s presence
Devotees are receiving the presence and guidance of Acharya Subal Sagarji Maharaj during the festival. On Wednesday, Special Secretary of the Charitable and Culture Department Sanjay Singh also reached Jain Bagh. He had darshan of the Acharya and received his blessings. During the occasion, the Acharya honoured him by presenting a rudraksha garland and religious scriptures.
Special religious importance of Panchkalyanak
The Panchkalyanak festival has special spiritual significance in the Jain tradition. It commemorates, through religious rituals, five major events associated with the lives of the Tirthankars: conception, birth, penance, enlightenment and moksha. During the festival, devotees are being given the message of Jainism’s principles of non-violence, self-restraint and spiritual welfare through worship, abhishek and discourses.
