~✿~ ~✿~ ~✿~ Twenty Four Tirthankaras ~✿~ ~✿~ ~✿~
A Tirthankar, maker of a ford (tirth), is a human being who has attained omniscience (kevala-jnana) and who teaches others the path to liberation (moksha-marga.) This painting illustrates all the twenty-four
Tirthankaras in two concentric circles, with Rishabhadev, the first
Tirthankar, in the centre. All these Tirthankaras are identified by their symbols (insignia) and their body colours. Down at the left is the figure of Gautamasvami, the first chief disciple (ganadhara) of Mahavira. At the right is a small shrine with the footprints of a Guru.
