Short Description
Jainism, a tradition renowned for its profound philosophy of ahimsā and anekāntavāda, has left a lasting imprint on the culture of the Indian subcontinent through its diverse forms of art and heritage. This volume aims to provide a multidisciplinary understanding of Jainism through its history, art, narratives, and religious dynamics, as reflected in the material culture and textual tradition. It will not only enrich the reader with an insight into the vast heritage that the Jain tradition has safeguarded for centuries, but it will also catalyse making enthusiasts aware of its historical importance and relevance to present-day society. The volume thus echoes the message of the Tīrthaṅkaras as inscribed in stone, paper, or even the memories of the people.
