'''Jainism in Bihar''' trace a long history since the times of twenty-fourth [[Tirthankara]] [[Mahavira]], who was born in [[Vaishali (ancient city)|Vaishali]] (near [[Hajipur]]). The state of Bihar is considered to have played an important role in the development of Jainism.

An ancient black statue of Lord [[Mahavira]] weighing around 250 kg was recently stolen from [[Jamui]], [[Bihar]]. The statue was later recovered by the Police.<ref>{{citation|title=Stolen idol of Lord Mahavir recovered|url=http://timesofindia.com/city/patna/Stolen-idol-of-Lord-Mahavir-recovered/articleshow/50068366.cms|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=6 December 2015}}</ref>
