In Jainism, the term "Kalyanak Bhoomi" refers to the sacred places associated with the five auspicious events (Pancha Kalyanaks) in the lives of Tirthankaras: conception (Chyavan), birth (Janma), renunciation (Diksha), attainment of omniscience (Kevalgyan), and liberation (Nirvana).

The "Avanti Chaubisi" refers to the group of 24 Tirthankaras who are believed to have attained their kalyanaks in the region historically known as Avanti (presently part of Madhya Pradesh, India), with Ujjain being its capital. In Jain tradition, it is believed that in every time cycle (Avasarpini and Utsarpini), there are 24 Tirthankaras, and the places of their kalyanaks may vary.

Avanti Chaubisi Kalyanak Bhoomi (Main Sites):

• Ujjain (Avantika): Considered the primary Kalyanak Bhoomi for many Tirthankaras of the Avanti group.
• Other places in Malwa region: Several ancient Jain temples in the Malwa region (such as at Bawangaja, Maheshwar, and Indore) are also associated with kalyanaks of these Tirthankaras.

Significance:

• These sites are highly revered and pilgrimage-worthy for Jain devotees, especially those following the tradition that honors the Avanti Chaubisi.
• The concept emphasizes the cyclical nature of Jain cosmology, where different groups of Tirthankaras have their kalyanaks in different regions during different time cycles.

Examples of Tirthankaras and their Kalyanak Bhoomis:

• While in the current cycle, the majority of Tirthankaras’ kalyanak bhoomis are in areas like Ayodhya, Champapuri, etc., in the Avanti Chaubisi, their kalyanaks are believed to have occurred in Avanti and its surroundings.

Reference:

• This tradition is more prevalent in some Jain sects and is detailed in ancient Jain texts and regional traditions of Central India. Not all Jain sects emphasize the Avanti Chaubisi, as the currently worshipped Chaubisi is based on the present Avasarpini cycle.
