First chovisi of jainisam
In Jainism, a Chovisi (also spelled as Chovisi or Chovisi) refers to a set of twenty-four Tirthankaras. Each time cycle (Avasarpini and Utsarpini) is believed to have its own set of 24 Tirthankaras. The first Chovisi refers to the twenty-four Tirthankaras of the current time cycle (Avasarpini), whose teachings form the core of Jain philosophy.
Here are the names of the first (current) Chovisi of Jainism:
- Rishabhanatha (Adinath)
- Ajitanatha
- Sambhavanatha
- Abhinandananatha
- Sumatinatha
- Padmaprabha
- Suparshvanatha

Each Tirthankara re-established the fourfold Jain Sangha and showed the path to liberation (moksha). Their life stories and teachings are central to Jain devotional and philosophical traditions.
