| Those who
follow the religion taught by Mahavira are called Jainas. We have a large number of them
in our country. Their religion is called Jainism. Many
Tirthankaras, or Saints had taught the principles of Jainism before Mahavira. But Mahavira
carried his message far andwide, all over the country. Thus many more people came to
follow Jainism.
Mahavira died at the age of seventy-two at Pavapuri.
