Answer

In Jain context, VNS usually means Veer Nirvan Samvat, the Jain calendar era counted from the Nirvana of Bhagwan Mahavir Swami.

For the Gregorian year 2026, the corresponding Jain year is generally:

Veer Nirvan Samvat 2552–2553

Explanation

Veer Nirvan Samvat begins around Diwali, because Bhagwan Mahavir attained Nirvana on the night of Diwali.

So:

• From the start of 2026 until Diwali 2026, it is generally VNS 2552.
• From Diwali 2026 onward, it becomes VNS 2553.

Takeaway

If you are asking for the Jain year of 2026, it is VNS 2552 before Diwali and VNS 2553 after Diwali.
