Mahaveer Temple
A fine modern temple has been built, with an image of Mahavira Vardhamana installed therein. The temple is artistically erected and has started attracting pilgrims. Vaisali was selected as the site for institution for the study of Jainology. An ancient Jain image found in the recent excavations has been preserved. A small museum has been sponsored at Vaisali itself and a large number of finds are kept there. On the occasion of Mahavira Jayanti a big mela is held which is attended by thousands of people. Cultural meetings are a usual feature of the Mahavira Jayanti celebrations.
This temple has a very ancient, impressive and glorious history. It is interwoven with Bhagawan Mahavir Swami. This is the place of the three Kalyanakas (events beneficent the world) - chyavan, birth of diksa of Mahavir, according to the Digambar belief. Once in the past, the city of Vaishali was very prosperous. The Lichchhvi dynasty was chiefly in power. They were believed to be Kshtriyas of the Jnatruvamsha. They had faith in Bhagawan Mahavir. History says that the King of the Magadhas was fully defeated by the King of Vaishali. The son of shrenik caused a split in the Vaishali Sangha invaded it and killed chetak, the King of Vaishali. The glory of the city of Vaishali came to en end. It was nearly 2000 years old. The Govt. of Bihar established the Prakrit Jainological and Ahinsa Research Sansthan. In the whole of India, this institute, the only one of its type, has a distinct place. It tells the glorious story of the city of Vaishali.
