    24 tithankar k names with symbol

    8 months ago 164

    Here are the 24 Tirthankaras with their traditional lanchhana (symbols). I have noted where different Jain traditions use different symbols.

    1) Rishabhanatha (Adinath) — Bull 2) Ajitnatha — Elephant 3) Sambhavanatha — Horse 4) Abhinandananatha — Monkey 5) Sumatinatha — Goose or Heron (Swetambar: Heron; Digambar: Goose) 6) Padmaprabha — Lotus 7) Suparshvanatha — Swastika 8) Chandraprabha — Moon 9) Pushpadanta (Suvidhinath) — Crocodile 10) Shitalanatha — Kalpavriksha (Shvetambar also uses Srivatsa) 11) Shreyansanatha — Rhinoceros 12) Vasupujya — Buffalo 13) Vimalanatha — Boar 14) Anantanatha — Falcon (Digambar); Porcupine (Digambar sometimes noted; Shwetambar often uses Falcon) 15) Dharmanatha — Vajra (Thunderbolt) 16) Shantinatha — Deer 17) Kunthunatha — Goat 18) Aranatha — Fish 19) Mallinatha — Kalasha (pot) 20) Munisuvrata — Tortoise 21) Naminatha — Blue Lotus 22) Neminatha — Shankha (Conch) 23) Parshvanath — Snake 24) Mahavira — Lion

    Note on variations:

    • Some symbols like Sumatinatha, Shitalanatha, Anantanatha, and others show small differences between Digambar and Shwetambar traditions. The important point is that each Tirthankara has a distinct emblem used for identification in temples and scriptures, and the core spiritual meaning remains the same across traditions.
