What are the 8 Asha mangas
The 8 Aṣṭamaṅgala (eight auspicious Jain symbols) are:
- Swastika
- Śrīvatsa (Shrivatsa)
- Nandhyāvarta (Nandyāvarta)
- Vardhamānaka (Vardhamanaka, also called sharav)
- Bhadrāsana (Sinhaśāna, the throne)
- Kalāśa (Kalasha, the holy pitcher)
- Minyugala (Mīna-yugala, a pair of fish)
- Darpana (Darpan, the mirror)
Notes:
- These eight are depicted in Kalpasutra and traditionally drawn with pure rice grains before the image of a Tirthankara.
- In some traditions or regional lists, one symbol may vary (for example, Matsyayugma/Meen Yugala is sometimes listed instead of Minyugala). The core meaning and purpose remain the same across Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions.
