The real birthplace of Lord Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara in Jainism, is traditionally believed to be in the ancient city of Vaishali, in present-day Bihar, India. According to Jain texts and traditions, Lord Mahavira was born in 599 BCE (some sources state 540 BCE) to King Siddhartha and Queen Trishala in the royal family of the Ikshvaku dynasty. Vaishali was an important center of trade and politics in ancient India and played a significant role in the spread of Jainism.
The exact location associated with Mahavira’s birth is Kundagrama (also known as Kundalpur), a suburb of Vaishali. This site is revered by Jains and remains a pilgrimage destination, reflecting its significance in Jain history and spirituality.
