Rishabhdev teach 72 kala for man picture
Bhagwan Rishabhdev (Adinath) is described in Jain granths as the first Tirthankar who started human civilisation. As part of this, he taught:
- 72 kalā (arts/skills) to men
- 64 kalā to women
These kalā include different types of education, arts, crafts, weapons-training, agriculture, business skills, etc. Through these, people learnt how to live in an organised, cultured way.
About “picture” of 72 kalā
In traditional Jain art, there is no single fixed standard picture that clearly shows all 72 kalā one by one. Usually you will find:- Pictures or idols of Bhagwan Rishabhdev alone, or
- Paintings of Rishabhdev teaching people (sabha / samavasaran style),
- Sometimes with symbols of different arts around him, but not always labeled as all 72 kalā.
If you want a picture, you can:
- Show Rishabhdev in meditation or giving deshna,
- Around him draw or design small symbols for different arts (like farming, writing, music, trade, etc.).
