Shri Adinath

Shri Adinath, also known as Lord Adinath, is revered as the first Tirthankara in Jainism. He is considered the founder of the Jain religion and is believed to have lived millions of years ago. Adinath is also known by other names such as Rishabhanatha, Adishvara, or Adinatha.

In Jain tradition, Tirthankaras are spiritual teachers who have attained enlightenment and shown the path to liberation or moksha from the cycle of birth and death. Adinath is venerated for his teachings on non-violence, truthfulness, compassion, and self-discipline, which form the core principles of Jainism.

Devotees pay homage to Shri Adinath through prayers, rituals, and meditation. His idol is often depicted sitting in meditation posture (padmasana) with a divine aura surrounding him. Temples dedicated to Shri Adinath are places of pilgrimage and worship for Jains, where they seek spiritual guidance and blessings on their path to liberation.
