Around 2500 years ago Gautama was born in a Lumbini garden near Kapilavastu who was the founder of Buddhism. He was a Kshatriya and belonged to Satya Gana. By seeing the sight of an old man, the deceased man, a corpse and an ascetic he went away from this worldly life.In search of knowledge and the truth, he left home at the age of 29. For several years he wandered and met several teachers and discussed with other thinkers but could not get enlightenment. At last at Bodh Gaya in Bihar, he got Nirvana under a peepal tree at the age of 35. Then he came to be known as Buddha or the ‘Enlightened one’.

Mahavir was a Kshatriya prince and famous thinker of Jains. He was a contemporary of Buddha. He left home at the age of 30 and got the enlightenment after 12 years. His followers were named as Jainas. Jainas derived from a term Jina which means conqueror.
