which tirthankars is on jain ghat at varanasi
Varanasi’s Jain Ghat (often called Bhadaini/Bachraj Ghat) is associated with two Tirthankaras:
- Suparshwanath (the 7th Tirthankara). A temple at the ghat commemorates his birth, and the ghat is widely linked with Suparshwanath's shrines. You can read more about Suparshwanath in relation to this site.
- Parshwanath (the 23rd Tirthankara). There are references to Parshwanath’s presence and temple associations in the Varanasi/Jain Ghat area.
A concise understanding (arth) from Jain tradition:
- Suparshwanath is the 7th Tirthankara, born in Varanasi, and the Bhadaini Teerth/Teerthsthaan at the ghat honors his birth. This reflects the Jain emphasis on five auspicious births and keval jnana associated with Suparshwanath.
- Parshwanath is the 23rd Tirthankara, also connected to Varanasi's Jain heritage, with temples and sites at the ghat area dedicated to him.
If you’re visiting, you’ll likely encounter shrines for Suparshwanath and Parshwanath near the Jain Ghat complex, reflecting the tradition that Kashi (Varanasi) is tied to the birthplaces and commemorations of these two Tirthankaras.
