In Jain cosmology this type of detailed “map” is normally seen in a painted / printed Jambudvīp–Lokākāś chart. In text form I can explain the structure, but giving an exact, named list of “5 Mahāvideh” and “32 Vijay” is very tradition‑specific and not uniform in all sources, so I will stay only with the fully agreed parts and not guess beyond that.

1. Big picture: where is everything?

The Jain universe (lokākāś) has three main parts:

1. Urdhva‑loka – upper world (heavens, and at the very top, siddha‑śilā).
2. Madhya‑loka – middle world (where humans, animals etc. live).
3. Adho‑loka – lower world (seven hells).

Your question is entirely about Madhya‑loka, and inside that about Jambudvīp.

2. Jambudvīp and its kṣetras

In the center of Madhya‑loka is a circular continent called Jambudvīp, with Mount Meru in the exact center.

Classically Jambudvīp is divided into 7 kṣetras (regions):

• Bharat Kṣetra – where we presently live.
• Airāvat Kṣetra – opposite to Bharat, on the other side of Meru.
• Mahāvideh Kṣetra – a central belt between Bharat and Airāvat.
• Ramyak, Hairaṇyavat, Haimavat, Uttarkuru – other regions, mainly bhogabhūmi (enjoyment lands).

Among these, Bharat, Mahāvideh and Airāvat are karmabhūmi – lands where full spiritual effort, tapas, and Tīrthankar‑paramparā are possible.

3. “5 Mahāvideh” – what does this mean?

Scriptures speak clearly of Mahāvideh Kṣetra as a central belt in Jambudvīp, stretching around Meru.

Later Jain cosmological works and temple‑maps subdivide this Mahāvideh belt into 5 parts (commonly called “pañc Mahāvideh”). These are like 5 parallel strips or zones within the larger Mahāvideh region.

• All 5 are in the central area of Jambudvīp.
• All 5 are considered karmabhūmi.
• In our current time‑cycle, they are the only places where Tīrthankars are presently alive and preaching.

Different traditions and texts give slightly different naming and fine layout for these 5 subdivisions, so to avoid inaccuracy I am not listing specific names.

4. “32 Vijay within 5 Mahāvideh”

Within Mahāvideh Kṣetra, many Jain cosmology charts show smaller sacred sub‑regions called Vijay‑kṣetra or Vijay‑ardh, etc.

• Altogether they are counted as 32 Vijay‑kṣetras.
• They are arranged around Mount Meru in specific directions and bands, inside the overall zone of the 5 Mahāvideh.
• These are the particular lands where the present Tīrthankars live, move and preach.

The exact geometrical layout and the individual names of all 32 come from technical cosmography texts and vary slightly from one tradition / chart to another. Because of that, giving a precise, one‑by‑one “map list” in words here would risk inaccuracy, so I am consciously not inventing details.

For this very fine‑detail level, Jains usually rely on:

• Painted Jambudvīp boards in temples/paṭaśālā.
• Traditional printed loka‑nakśā (cosmology maps) approved by their own gaccha/saṅgh.

5. Present location of 20 Tīrthankars

All traditions agree on this key point:

• In our current avasarpiṇī (descending time‑cycle),

- No living Tīrthankar is present now in Bharat Kṣetra or in Airāvat Kṣetra. - In Mahāvideh Kṣetra there are always 20 living Tīrthankars.

Conceptually:

• These 20 Tīrthankars are distributed across the 5 Mahāvideh regions,
• Within those 5, they dwell and preach in specific Vijay‑kṣetras.

So:

• Total Mahāvideh regions considered now: 5
• Total Vijay‑kṣetras shown within them: 32
• Tīrthankars currently present there: 20 living Tīrthankars, always existing in this era.

Different sects/books give somewhat different name‑lists and exact placement of these 20 (for example, the very popular devotion to Śrī Simandhar Swami is one such Mahāvideh Tīrthankar), so instead of mixing those variations, I am keeping only the fully common ground: > “There are 20 living Tīrthankars in Mahāvideh Kṣetra right now; none are living in our present Bharat Kṣetra.”

6. Our current Bharat Kṣetra

In Jain cosmology:

• We live in Bharat Kṣetra of Jambudvīp, south of Mount Meru, in Madhya‑loka.
• This Bharat Kṣetra is where the 24 Tīrthankars of our current time‑cycle (Ṛṣabhdev to Mahāvīr) were born and attained keval‑jñān and mokṣa.
• At present in this time‑cycle:

- No new Tīrthankars will arise in Bharat Kṣetra until a very distant future (after uttar‑sṛṣṭi of the next utsarpiṇī phase). - However, it remains karmabhūmi, so right faith, right knowledge and right conduct here can still lead the soul towards future birth in Mahāvideh or even mokṣa once the conditions allow.

7. How to “see” this map in practice

Because all this is highly geometric and symbolic, the best way to really understand the “5 Mahāvideh – 32 Vijay – 20 Tīrthankar – Bharat Kṣetra” layout is:

1. Look at a traditional Jambudvīp / Lokākāś diagram in a Jain temple or book.
2. Ask your local ācārya / upādhyāya / paṭaśālā teacher to point out:

- Where Bharat Kṣetra is, - The Mahāvideh belt, - How the 5 Mahāvideh and 32 Vijay are drawn there, - And where the 20 present Tīrthankars are marked.
