    all thirthankar yaksha yakshi

    8 months ago 85

    In Jain cosmology, every Tirthankara has a pair of divine attendants: a Yaksha (male guardian) and a Yakshi (female guardian). These attendants accompany and protect the Tirthankara, and they are commonly shown in Jain art and temples next to the Tirthankara’s emblem.

    Important notes

    • There are 24 Tirthankaras, so there are 24 Yaksha–Yakshi pairs in each traditional listing.
    • The exact names of the Yaksha and Yakshi, as well as some details about them, vary between Digambar and Shwetambar traditions.
    • Beyond the names, their primary roles are to guard, support, and symbolize the virtues associated with the corresponding Tirthankara.

    If you’d like, I can provide the precise Yaksha and Yakshi names for each of the 24 Tirthankaras as recognized in Digambar and Shwetambar texts, and note where the traditions differ.
