When are the kalyanaks of all tirthankars

In Jainism, each of the 24 Tirthankaras experiences five auspicious life events called Panch Kalyanaks:

1. Garbha Kalyanak (Conception)
2. Janma Kalyanak (Birth)
3. Diksha Kalyanak (Renunciation)
4. Kevalgyan Kalyanak (Omniscience)
5. Nirvana Kalyanak (Liberation)

The dates and locations of these Kalyanaks are traditionally recorded in Jain scriptures. While the exact dates (in terms of the Gregorian calendar) are not always specified, the Tirthankaras’ Kalyanaks are commemorated according to the Jain lunar calendar, and each Tirthankara has specific places associated with these events.

For example:

• Rishabhdev (1st Tirthankara):

- Garbha: Ayodhya - Janma: Ayodhya - Diksha: Prayag - Kevalgyan: Ashtapad - Nirvana: Ashtapad

• Mahavira (24th Tirthankara):

- Garbha: Kundalpur - Janma: Kundalpur (Chaitra Shukla Trayodashi) - Diksha: Kundalpur (Vaishakh Krishna Dashami) - Kevalgyan: Jrimbhikagrama (Vaishakh Shukla Dashami) - Nirvana: Pavapuri (Kartik Krishna Amavasya, i.e., Diwali night)

This pattern is followed for all Tirthankaras, with their kalyanaks occurring at unique times and places, as detailed in Jain Agamas and traditional texts such as “Trishashti Shalaka Purusha Charitra.”

Summary Table Example (for a few Tirthankaras):

| Tirthankara | Garbha | Janma | Diksha | Kevalgyan | Nirvana | |------------------|-------------|--------------|---------------|---------------|--------------| | Rishabhdev | Ayodhya | Ayodhya | Prayag | Ashtapad | Ashtapad | | Ajitnath | Ayodhya | Ayodhya | Ayodhya | Mount Shikharji| Mount Shikharji| | Parshvanath | Varanasi | Varanasi | Varanasi | Mount Sammed Shikhar| Mount Sammed Shikhar| | Mahavira | Kundalpur | Kundalpur | Kundalpur | Jrimbhikagrama| Pavapuri |

To know the specific dates for each Tirthankara's Kalyanaks, Jains refer to their lunar calendar and scriptures. The Kalyanaks are celebrated as major festivals, with the Birth Kalyanak (Janma) of Mahavira being celebrated as Mahavir Jayanti and his Nirvana as Diwali.
