Bihar is a holy place for the Jains as the last Tirthankara of the Jains was born here. A visit to some of the Jain pilgrim destinations in Bihar offers a view into the life and journey of Lord Mahavira. It is in this land that he gave up his worldly belonging, meditated for years and preached the Jain way of life for the liberation of the self. A journey across this circuit also offers a visit to many more sacred places dedicated to other Jain monks too.
