In Jainism, Parshwanath (also spelled Parshvanatha) is the 23rd Tirthankara, revered as a great spiritual teacher and liberator. The term "Avanti" refers to an ancient region in India, with its capital city being Ujjayini (modern-day Ujjain).

Connection between Avanti and Parshwanath Bhagwan:

• Parshwanath and Avanti: According to Jain traditions, Parshwanath Bhagwan visited many regions during his lifetime to spread the message of non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), and spiritual discipline. Avanti was one of the major regions where Jainism flourished, and there are several ancient Jain temples dedicated to Parshwanath in and around Ujjain, the capital of Avanti.
• Temples: The most notable is the Shri Shantinath Digambar Jain Temple in Ujjain, where idols of Parshwanath Bhagwan are worshipped. Many devotees in Avanti consider Parshwanath as their principal deity (kuldevata).
• Legacy: Parshwanath’s teachings greatly influenced the Avanti region, and many Jain communities there follow the Parshwanath tradition, emphasizing his four-fold restraints: non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, and non-attachment.
