In Jainism, Sumeru / Meru Parvat and the idea of “Anunaki” are completely different and unrelated.

1. Sumeru (Meru) Parvat in Jain Dharma

Very simply:

• Sumeru (Meru) is a golden cosmic mountain.
• It stands at the exact center of Jambudvipa, the middle island of the Jain universe (Madhya Loka).
• It is the axis of Jain cosmology – the lands, oceans and directions are described with reference to Meru.
• In the lives of Tirthankars, the Devas (Indras) bring the newborn Tirthankar to Meru’s summit for the janmābhiṣek (heavenly birth‑bath).

Both Digambar and Shwetambar traditions accept:

• Meru / Sumeru is the central, most exalted mountain of Jambudvipa.
• Numerical details (exact height, etc.) may differ a little, but the basic concept is the same.

You can read a simple Jain explanation of Meru Parvat here: “Tell me about meru parvat” and “what’s the story of the sumeru parvat”

2. What is “Anunaki”?

“Anunaki” (or Anunnaki) is not a Jain term at all. It comes from Mesopotamian / Sumerian mythology and in modern times is often used in “ancient aliens” type theories.

• Jain scriptures do not mention “Anunaki”.
• There is no concept of alien creator‑gods like this in Jain Dharma.
• Jainism clearly teaches that the universe is beginningless, uncreated, and runs by its own natural laws – there is no creator god or alien race that made the world.

For a simple Jain view of the beginningless universe, see: “belief about the beginning of the universe?”

3. So, is there any link between Sumeru and Anunaki?

From a pure Jain Dharma standpoint:

• Sumeru / Meru = part of Jain cosmology, spiritual center of Jambudvipa.
• Anunaki = concept from non‑Jain mythology / modern speculation.
• No connection, no overlap, no role of Anunaki in Jain teachings about Sumeru Parvat.

If you want to stay within authentic Jain understanding, Sumeru should be seen only as described in Jain Agams and cosmology, without mixing it with Anunaki or “ancient alien” ideas.
