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.[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]
