“108 Parshwanath” in India is used in two main ways:

1. 108 Prasiddh (famous) Parshwanath idols

- In the Śvetāmbara tradition there is a well‑known list of 108 specially revered idols of Bhagwān Parshwanath spread all over India. - Each is known by its place‑name, e.g. - Shankheshwar Parshwanath (Gujarat) - Jirawala Parshwanath (Rajasthan) - Panchāsar Parshwanath / Pañchāsarā (Patan, Gujarat) - Lodrava (Lodhurva) Parshwanath (Rajasthan) - Nakoda Parshwanath (Rajasthan) - Antariksha (Antriksha) Parshwanath (Maharashtra) - Avanti Parshwanath (Ujjain, MP) - Altogether these 108 become a special yatra‑list of Parshwanath Bhagwān, recited in stavan, nāmmālā, etc.

1. Temples named “108 Parshwanath”

- At some places in India, you will find a tirth whose name itself is “Shri 108 Parshwanath Jain Tirth” or similar. - Usually this means either: - there are 108 mūrtis of Parshwanath in one complex, or - the main idol is one of the above‑mentioned 108 famous Parshwanath idols, and the number 108 is used honorifically in the name of the tirth.

On a devotional level, 108 is an auspicious number in Jain Dharma (used in malas, āyambil‑oli counts, stavan collections, etc.), so associating this number with Parshwanath Bhagwān increases the sense of reverence.
