    out of 24 trithankar .. is any tritankhar women ?

    Answer

    No. In the present set of 24 Tirthankars of this Avasarpini Kaal, all 24 Tirthankars are traditionally described as male.

    Explanation

    The 24 Tirthankars are:

    • Rishabhdev Bhagwan
    • Ajitnath Bhagwan
    • Sambhavnath Bhagwan
    • Abhinandan Swami
    • Sumatinath Bhagwan
    • Padmaprabhu Bhagwan
    • Suparshvanath Bhagwan
    • Chandraprabhu Bhagwan
    • Pushpadant / Suvidhinath Bhagwan
    • Sheetalnath Bhagwan
    • Shreyansnath Bhagwan
    • Vasupujya Swami
    • Vimalnath Bhagwan
    • Anantnath Bhagwan
    • Dharmanath Bhagwan
    • Shantinath Bhagwan
    • Kunthunath Bhagwan
    • Aranath Bhagwan
    • Mallinath Bhagwan
    • Munisuvrat Swami
    • Naminath Bhagwan
    • Neminath Bhagwan
    • Parshvanath Bhagwan
    • Mahavir Swami

    However, there is an important difference between Jain traditions regarding the 19th Tirthankar, Mallinath Bhagwan:

    • Shvetambar tradition: Mallinath Bhagwan is regarded as female.
    • Digambar tradition: Mallinath Bhagwan is regarded as male.

    Takeaway

    So, according to the Shvetambar tradition, one Tirthankar — Mallinath Bhagwan — was female. According to the Digambar tradition, all 24 Tirthankars were male.
