Jain Tirthankar Visit
Jain Tirthankaras are the 24 enlightened spiritual teachers in Jainism who have achieved perfect knowledge (Kevala Jnana) and help others attain liberation. They are seen as role models of purity, non-violence (ahimsa), and truth.
Each Tirthankara is believed to have revived the Jain faith in their time. The first was Rishabhanatha, and the last was Lord Mahavira, who lived in the 6th century BCE.
They are not worshipped as gods, but as liberated souls who show the path to moksha (liberation).
