It's the part of basic syntax , without main method Java program won't run . It's the place where everything is done or called , the compiler runs only main method through which other method are executed if they are called inside them , methods aren't executed they aren't called inside main .

Everything in java has a class

I know main method is important ,but why it is defined inside the class?

@dharshini Because classes and methods are the building blocks of OOP as @Serena said , atleast one class is required to do something without it the code won't run . Main is just like other methods , it has to be placed inside a class just like any other method .
