A slew of festivals marks the month of April in Chennai

The Hindu  

Over 20,000 Jains gathered at Sri Jain Dadavadi at Ayanavaram on April 21 to celebrate the life and teachings of Bhagwan Sri Mahavir, the 24th Theerthankara, on the occasion of His 2623 Janam Kalayanak Mahotsav. In her speech, Sadhwi Gaveshnashri said Bharat had given birth to four Maha Purush — Lord Ram, Sri Krishna, Sri Buddha, and Sri Mahavir — who were showing the world the right path. The Dadavadi sees thousands of people and apart from special prayers, Prasad is distributed, and food is also served to all who come on that day.” Pannalal Singhvi, convener, Jain Mahasangh, said a large procession, with floats depicting the life and teachings of Sri Mahavir, was taken out from Binny to the Dadavadi. The usual procession of the utsava idols was not held this time since they should not be brought out during Balalayam,” said a source associated with the temple.
