It is located 10 km from Nalanda city and 100 km from Patna. The town is a major center of Jain pilgrimage, as it is the site of the nirvana (death) of Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism.<\/p>\n<p>Pawapuri was originally a village called Pava. It was the capital of the kingdom of Magadha during the reign of Bimbisara. Mahavira was born in Kundagrama, which is now a part of Patna, in 599 BCE. He renounced the world at the age of 30 and spent the next 60 years wandering as an ascetic. He attained nirvana at Pavapuri in 527 BCE.<\/p>\n<p>The main attraction of Pawapuri is the Mahavira Nirvana Stupa, which is a large dome-shaped structure that marks the spot where Mahavira attained nirvana. The stupa is surrounded by a number of temples and shrines, including the Shanti Stupa, which is a white marble stupa that was built in the 20th century.<\/p>\n<p>Pawapuri is also home to a number of other Jain temples and shrines, including the Parshvanatha Temple, the Suraj Kund, and the Ahimsa Sthal. The Parshvanatha Temple is a 12th-century temple that is dedicated to Parshvanatha, <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> <\/div> the 23rd Tirthankara of Jainism.
