Answer

Mahavir Janma Vanchan Day in 2026 is on Saturday, September 12, 2026.

It falls during Paryushan, traditionally on the 5th day of Paryushan in the Shvetambar Jain tradition.

Note

Please distinguish it from Mahavir Janma Kalyanak / Mahavir Jayanti, which in 2026 is observed around March 30–31, 2026 depending on local tithi and calendar tradition. Janma Vanchan is the ceremonial reading of Bhagwan Mahavir’s birth account during Paryushan.
