DO JAINWORSHIP MAA PADMAVATI MATA
Yes. In Jainism, Padmavati (Padmavatī) Mata is a revered Yakshini (goddess attendant) and is commonly worshipped as the Shāsan-Devī (protective deity) of Parshvanath, the 23rd Tirthankara. She is traditionally seen as a protector and bestower of blessings, especially for prosperity, protection, and removal of obstacles. There are differences between Digambar and Śvetāmbar traditions in how she is drawn into the Parshvanath tradition and in iconography, but devotion to Padmavati Mata is widespread in both streams.
Key points you can recall:
- Identity: Padmavati Mata is the Yakshini of Parshvanath in many Jain traditions.
- Function: Shāsan-Devī (protector/deity of the teaching) and a guardian of devotees on the Jain path.
- Traditions: Some differences exist between Digambar and Śvetāmbar practices regarding her exact role and placement with Parshvanath, but both acknowledge her as a respected devotional figure.
