Dharmachakra means the wheel of dharma (teaching). In Jainism it signifies the path of right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct that leads a seeker toward liberation.

Key points:

• The wheel represents the spread and rotation of righteous teachings (dharma).
• The spokes symbolize fundamental Jain teachings or the guidance of the Tirthankaras. A common view is that they reflect the 24 Tirthankaras, though some texts emphasize the threefold path (right faith, right knowledge, right conduct) as the core spokes.
• The Dharmachakra as a symbol underlines ongoing effort: turning the wheel of dharma brings one closer to true knowledge and release from samsara.

In Digambar and Shwetambar traditions, the essential meaning and purpose of the Dharmachakra remain the same: it is a compact symbol of the Jain path to Moksha, though iconographic details may vary in art and flag emblems.
