    11 months ago 249

    In Jainism, the "Diksha Vruksh" (initiation tree) refers to the specific tree under which each Tirthankar renounced the world and accepted diksha (initiation into monkhood). Each of the 24 Tirthankaras is associated with a particular tree at the time of their renunciation. Here is the list of all 24 Tirthankaras and their respective Diksha Vrukshas:

    1. Adinath (Rishabhanatha) – Ashoka Tree (Saraca asoca)

    5. Sumatinath – Pāṭala Tree (Bignonia suaveolens)
    6. Padmaprabha – Mahāva Tree (Madhuca indica)
    7. Suparshvanath – Naga Tree (Mesua ferrea)
    8. Chandraprabha – Nāga Tree (Mesua ferrea)

    10. Shitalanath – Pilu Tree (Salvadora persica)
    11. Shreyansanath – Mahāva Tree (Madhuca indica)
    12. Vasupujya – Mahāva Tree (Madhuca indica)
    13. Vimalanath – Bakula Tree (Mimusops elengi)
    14. Anantanath – Campaka Tree (Michelia champaca)
    15. Dharmanath – Simhamkhada Tree (Dillenia pentagyna)
    16. Shantinath – Nandi Tree (Morinda tinctoria)
    17. Kunthunath – Pundarika Tree (Nymphaea lotus)
    18. Aranath – Tinduka Tree (Diospyros embryopteris)
