An Indian Jain volunteer arranges flower

An Indian Jain volunteer arranges flowers in front of the idols Mahavir Swami, Sambhav Nath and Gautam Swami at the Devkinandan Jain Sangh on the occasion of Mahavir Janma Kalyanak Vachan in Ahmedabad on August 20, 2009. Precious diamonds, pearls, sandalwood rings, imported flowers and saffron are used to decorate the sacred idols during the Jain Festival Paryushan Parva, with Mahavir Janma Kalyanak Vachan its 5th day. In the Indian state of Gujarat, where the Jain community has its strongest presence, slaughter houses will remain closed throughout the eight-day festival which is celebrated with fasting, reading of scriptures and the observance of silence.
