Explanation:

In the fifteenth century, the birth of Mahavir is commemorated through the Kalpasutra, an important Jain scripture. This historical event is intricately documented and preserved in the Jain Bhandar, located in the region of Rajasthan.

The Kalakacharyakatha, 1497, a significant manuscript, found its place in the N. C. Mehta Collection in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Around 1475 in Gujarat, a noteworthy manuscript called "Indra Praising Devasano Pado" from the Kalpasutra was created. This valuable piece is now part of the collection at Boston.

In 1550, the Nimatnama, a historical manuscript, was crafted in Mandu. Today, this manuscript is housed in the British Library in London.
