In the Jain Prateek Chihna (Jain emblem), the outer shape shows the whole loka (universe). Inside that, the bottom and top parts show hell (narak) and heaven (swarg / devalok) levels.

1. Hell levels (Adho‑lok) in the Jain symbol

• The inverted triangle at the bottom of the symbol represents Adho‑lok – the lower world.
• This lower world has 7 levels of hell (seven narak bhumi):

1. Ratna‑prabha – region with a base of jewels
2. Śarkara‑prabha – region with gravel
3. Vālukā‑prabha – region with sand
4. Paṅka‑prabha – region with mud
5. Dhūma‑prabha – region with smoke
6. Tamaḥ‑prabha – region with darkness
7. Mahā‑tamaḥ‑prabha – region with very dense darkness

• In the symbol they are not written by name, but are shown as layered parts of the lower inverted triangle.
• Both Śvetāmbara and Digambara accept seven hells with almost the same names and order; small spelling/details may differ in texts, but the structure is the same.

You can see a simple explanation of the seven hells here

2. Heaven levels (Ūrdhva‑lok) in the Jain symbol

• The upper broad part (above the waist of the outline) represents Ūrdhva‑lok – the higher world, where heavenly beings (devas) live.
• Jain cosmology describes many heavenly levels, especially in the Vaimānika devalok:

1. 12 Kalpa heavens

Saudharma, Īśāna, Sanatkumāra, Mahendra, Brahma, Lāntava, Śukra, Sahasrāra, Anata, Pranata, Arana, Achyuta

1. 9 Graiveyaka heavens (above the Kalpas)

1. 5 Anuttara heavens (the highest heavens):

Vijaya, Vaijayanta, Jayanta, Aparājita, Sarvārthasiddhi

• Together these form the main heaven planes shown in the upper part of the emblem (Ūrdhva‑lok).
• Again, in the symbol they are not individually named, but the layered upper portion stands for these many devalok levels.
• Both Śvetāmbara and Digambara accept this same basic structure: 12 Kalpa + 9 Graiveyaka + 5 Anuttara.

3. Above heaven: Siddha‑śilā

On top of the outline, the small crescent with a dot represents Siddha‑śilā – the region beyond all hells and heavens, where liberated souls (siddhas) stay forever. It reminds us that:

• Hell and heaven are both within saṃsāra (cycle of birth and death).
• The goal in Jain Dharma is not heaven, but moksha – reaching Siddha‑śilā by destroying all karmas.
