    Photos of Astha Mangal in order in jain

    6 months ago 167

    In Jainism, the 8 Ashta‑Mangal (auspicious symbols) are usually shown in this order:

    1. Swastika (Sathiyo)

    – Shape: Cross with four equal arms bent at right angles. – Meaning: Four gatis (destinies) and reminder to follow Samyak Darshan–Jnan–Charitra.

    1. Shrivatsa

    – Shape: Small decorative mark on the chest of Tirthankar (often like a diamond/flower-shaped symbol). – Meaning: Pure, unobstructed knowledge and compassion of the Jina.

    1. Nandyavarta / Nandavarta

    – Shape: A large, more complex swastika with many turns (usually 9 turns). – Meaning: Prosperity and growth in good qualities and dharma.

    1. Vardhamanaka

    – Shape: Small shallow pot/dish/box (often like an oil lamp base or round pot). – Meaning: Ever‑increasing punya, fame and spiritual progress.

    1. Bhadrasana (Simhasan / Holy Throne)

    – Shape: A royal throne or seat, often shown as a decorated square or rectangular seat. – Meaning: Seat of honour for the Jina, symbol of spiritual authority and stability in dharma.

    1. Kalasha (Kalash)

    – Shape: Full water pot with a wide belly and narrow neck, sometimes with leaves/coconut on top. – Meaning: Auspiciousness, purity, abundance and wisdom.

    1. Mina‑Yugala (Pair of Fish)

    – Shape: Two fish side by side or crossing. – Meaning: Fearlessness in the ocean of samsar, victory over passions.

    1. Darpana (Mirror)

    – Shape: Hand‑mirror or round/oval mirror. – Meaning: Right self‑reflection; seeing one’s true nature clearly.

    you will see many picture charts where these 8 symbols appear in this sequence or very close to it.
