Veerwal

Veerwal (also spelled as Virwal) is a Jain community in the Mewar region in Rajasthan, India.

The Veerwals are followers of Sameer Muniji Maharaj who introduced them to Jainism in 1950.^[1] His death anniversary is celebrated by the All Indian Jain Veerwal Jain Sangh every year.^[2]

Sameer Pavan Dham in Ahimsa Nagar in Chittorgarh serves as a main center.^[3] Ahimsa Nagar, located about 4 miles from Chittorgarh, was inaugurated by Mohanlal Sukhadia in 1966. Even though Sameer Muniji belonged to the Sthanakvasi tradition, Sameer Pavan Dham hosts Jain dignitaries from other traditions also.^[4]
