Sarnath
Vaishali
Shravanabelagola
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. Pava
Pava is a village in the Indian state of Bihar. It is located in the Jehanabad district, about 100 kilometers from Patna. Pava is the place where Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism, attained Parinirvana.
Parinirvana is the final stage of a Jain monk’s life. It is a state of complete liberation from the cycle of rebirth. Mahavira attained Parinirvana at the age of 72, after a life of asceticism and preaching.
The place where Mahavira attained Parinirvana is now a holy site for Jains. A temple has been built there, and pilgrims from all over the world come to visit it.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Sarnath is the place where Gautama Buddha gave his first sermon after attaining enlightenment.
- Vaishali is the place where the Second Jain Council was held.
- Shravanabelagola is the place where the Gommateshwara statue, one of the largest monolithic statues in the world, is located.
