Mahavir Janma Kalyanak marks the birth of Vardhamana Mahavira, the twenty-fourth and last Tirthankara of this cycle, on the thirteenth day of the bright half of Chaitra — traditionally 599 BCE, in Kundagrama near Vaishali in Bihar. Each Tirthankara has five kalyanakas, auspicious events: conception, birth, renunciation, omniscience and liberation, and all five are celebrated, but the birth is the public one. The image is bathed in the abhisheka with milk, water and saffron; the fourteen dreams his mother Trishala saw before his birth are recited or enacted; and in cities with large Jain populations there are processions with a cradle. It is a gazetted public holiday across India, which for a community that is roughly 0.4 percent of the population is a notable piece of civic visibility, reflecting both Jain economic weight and the community's long relationship with the state. Digambaras and Svetambaras keep it on the same day, with different liturgies.
