Uttar Pradesh Renames Fazil Nagar to Pava Nagri

The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, announced that the town of Fazil Nagar in Kushinagar district will be renamed Pava Nagri.

This change is to honor the place where Lord Mahavira, an important figure in Jainism, attained Mahaparinirvana.

The announcement was made during an event at a Jain religious site in Ghaziabad, where a new cave temple was also inaugurated.

The Chief Minister spoke about the importance of India's spiritual traditions and the values upheld by Jain monks.

He also mentioned the recent completion of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and the significance of the event.
