People also participate in processions, visit Jain temples, and offer alms to the needy. Many also observe a day-long fast on this day as a mark of respect and devotion.
The festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm and fervour in various parts of India and other countries with significant Jain communities. It is a time of spiritual reflection and renewal for Jains, who seek to follow the teachings of Lord Mahavir and lead a life of compassion, non-violence, and self-discipline.
