Diwali (Jain holiday) (Jain holidays, religious holidays, ... Events (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Refers to an important Jain festival that ends the ritual year. The lights of the Hindu festival of the same name are reinterpreted as a commemoration of the passing into nirvana of Mahavira, the most recent of the Jain Tirthankaras, or saints. The lighting of the lamps is seen as a material substitute for the light of holy knowledge that was extinguished with Mhavira's death. The festival occurs on the full-moon day of the month of Karttika (October-November).

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 重要的耆那教節日，為整年的宗教儀式劃上句點的。與印度教排燈節同名，卻有不同的意義，旨在紀念創教者大雄尊者笩駄摩那之涅盤、或較近期的渡津者或祖師之涅盤。燈光被視為神聖知識光芒的物質性代表，隨大雄尊者坐化而熄滅。該節慶在耆那教曆卡爾堤卡月（西曆10~月至11月間）舉行。 |
| Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een belangrijk Jain-feest ter afsluiting van het rituele jaar. De lichtjes van het gelijknamige hindoefeest worden hier anders geïnterpreteerd, namelijk ter herdenking van de overgang naar het nirwana door Mahavira, de meest recente van de Jain Tirthankaras, of heiligen. Het aansteken van de lichtjes wordt beschouwd als materieel symbool voor het licht van de heilige kennis dat uitdoofde met de dood van Mahavira. Het feest wordt gevierd bij volle maan in de maand Karttika (oktober-november). |
| Spanish ..... Se refiere a un importante festival jainista que finaliza el año con un ritual. Las luces del festival Hindú del mismo nombre son reinterpretadas como una conmemoración del paso al nirvana de Mahavira, el más reciente de los Tirthankaras jainísta, o santo. Las luces de las lámparas son vistas como material sustituto para la luz del conocimiento santo que fue extinguido con la muerte de Mhavira. El festival ocurre durante el curso de la luna llena de Karttika (Octubre-Noviembre). |
