Jain saint Amarakeerti Maharaj said here on Thursday that the mahamastakabhisheka done to the statue of Bahubali Swamy once in 12 years is not an entertainment event. The ritual is done to promote peace in the world and to propagate the idelas upheld by Bahubali Swamy. The event is to relieve the world of a war-like-environment, he said.
He was speaking at the inauguration of the nine-day mahamastakabhisheka celebrations here.
Speaking on the occasion, the seer of the Jain mutt, Moodbidri, Charukeerti Bhattaraka Pandithaacharyavarya asked the State government to protect all Jain places of worship.
