Mahavir Bhagwan halardu (હળર્દુ) is a traditional devotional song or lullaby sung especially by Jain families to praise and remember Lord Mahavir, the 24th Tirthankara. It is often sung during religious occasions, especially in the presence of children, to instill values and devotion from an early age.

Here is a popular version of Mahavir Bhagwan Halardu in Gujarati:

મહાવીર ભગવાન હળર્દુ

મહાવીર ભગવાન હળર્દુ, મારે ગાવું છે; આંગણે ચંદન સૂગંધ ભરી, અક્ષત રંજાવું છે...

બારી ખોલો બલ્લભી માતા, પુત્રને ઝૂલાવું છે; પંખો પવનું ઝૂલણ વાળો, સુઘડ ઝૂલાવું છે...

મંદિરના મોરચોડીયે, મણકાં વણાવું છે; મહાવીર ભગવાન હળર્દુ, મારે ગાવું છે...

Translation (brief):

Mahavir Bhagwan Halardu, I wish to sing; Filling the courtyard with sandalwood fragrance, I decorate with rice grains...

Open the window, Mata Trishala, let your son swing; Let the breeze be the swing, and let me gently swing him...

On the temple threshold, I string pearls; Mahavir Bhagwan Halardu, I wish to sing...

This halardu is sung with love and devotion, expressing reverence for Mahavir Swami and seeking his blessings for peace, wisdom, and spiritual growth.
