According to Jain tradition, Lord Mahavir's uncle was Suparshva (also known as Suparshva Raja). His uncle's daughter (Mahavir Swami's cousin-sister) was named Chandana (also known as Chandanbala or Vasumati). Chandanbala is a highly revered figure in Jainism, known for her devotion and for offering food to Mahavir Swami during his period of severe penance.
