The Veerwals are followers of Baba Bhole nath Maharaj who introduced them to peace and happiness in his life.[1] His death anniversary is celebrated by the All Indian Jat Veerwal Jat 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]
