Jina statues
Jina statues are ancient Indian sculptures that depict the Jain Tirthankaras, spiritual teachers in Jainism. Typically crafted from marble or stone, these statues are distinguished by their serene expressions and detailed features, often adorned with symbols representing spiritual qualities and teachings. They serve as objects of veneration and are placed dedicatedly in temples or monasteries. The designs emphasize purity, meditation, and enlightenment, reflecting Jain values. Their style and posture can vary across regions and periods, but they universally symbolize the path to spiritual liberation and the respect for non-violence and truth upheld in Jain belief.
