Mahavir Swami had attained Nirvana by attaining Kaivalya Gyan in Swati Nakshatra on the day of Kartik Krishna Amavasya. In Jainism, emphasis is given on attainment of Vairagya Lakshmi instead of wealth, fame and splendor Lakshmi. Every year on the day of Deepawali, Lord Mahavir’s Nirvana Utsav is celebrated in Jainism. Lord Mahavir Swami attained salvation on the day of Kartik Amavasya. On the same day in the evening, Shri Gautam Swami attained Kaivalya Gyan, then the gods appeared and created Gandhakuti and increased the importance of Deepotsav by worshiping Gautam Swami and Kaivalya Gyan.
