The five Kalyanaks
The five commonly recognized Kalyanaks are Garbha Kalyanak (conception), Janma Kalyanak (birth), Diksha Kalyanak (renunciation), Keval Gyan Kalyanak (attainment of omniscience) and Moksha or Nirvana Kalyanak (liberation).
Why Kalyanak dates matter
Kalyanaks are remembered through temple observances, puja, study, community programs and personal devotion. The exact manner of observance varies among Jain traditions.
The 24 Tirthankars
The app’s Kalyanak reference is organized around the Tirthankars so users can reach the relevant names and dates without searching separate tables.
Calendar context
Seeing a Kalyanak alongside its Tithi and Jain month makes the date more meaningful than a standalone reminder because the user can understand where it sits in the Panchang.
Tradition-aware use
For formal observance dates and ritual details, users should continue to follow the calendar and guidance accepted by their own sect, Gachchh, Sangh or Guru.
