Jain influence

Jain influence refers to the significant impact of Jain principles and culture, originating from ancient India, on art, architecture, philosophy, and social practices. Jains emphasize non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), and non-possessiveness (aparigraha), which have shaped ethical standards and community behaviors. Their elaborate temples, intricate art, and commitment to environmental sustainability reflect these values. Jain influence extends beyond religion, contributing to India's cultural diversity and promoting tolerance, peaceful coexistence, and respect for all living beings. This impact is evident in various aspects of Indian society and continues to inspire ethical approaches worldwide.
