- Jain God Saint Wooden Plaque Painting # 4
- Jainism is one of the ancient religions of India. At its heart is the principle of nonviolence ‘Ahisma’.
- Jains ritually worship numerous Deities, especially the Jinas. In Jainism, a Jina as Deva is not an Avatar (incarnation), but the highest state of omniscience that an ascetic Tirthankara achieved. Out of the 24 Tirthankaras, Jains predominantly worship four: Mahāvīra, Parshvanatha, Neminatha and Rishabhanatha.
- This image seems to picture Parshvanatha, who is often shown with a snake.
- Jainism does not believe that the universe was created by one God Brahma, rather Jainism believes the Universe itself is eternal and powerful. … Jainism does not believe in violence, it strongly believes only in non-violence.
