A slew of festivals marks the month of April in Chennai

Sri Ramanavami was celebrated at the Erikaatha Ramar Temple at Madurantakam. Thirumanjanam was performed to the utsava idols on all nine days.

Over 20,000 Jains gathered at Sri Jain Dadavadi at Ayanavaram on April 21 to celebrate the life and teachings of Bhagwan Sri Mahavir, the 24th Theerthankara, on the occasion of His 2623 Janam Kalayanak Mahotsav (birth anniversary).

Addressing the gathering at Dharam Sabha, Muni Samarpanprabh Vijay said it was important for the Jains to stick to the principles of Jainism and put them into practice. He said victory came only if one kept at a task. He also said it was up to people to create a value for themselves.
