Two Jain Tirthankaras or jina (ford-makers) and their devotees, Bundi region, India, c1720. Artist: Unknown

Two Jain Tirthankaras or jina (ford-makers) and their devotees, Bundi region, India, c1720. The Indian faith of Jainism arose at approximately the same time as Buddhism. Its followers believe in a series of twenty-four tirthankaras, the last of whom was Mahavira (about 540-468 BC), a contemporary of the Buddha. The title Tirthankara means 'ford-maker' and refers to these individuals making 'fords' that allow their followers to cross over from suffering and pain to happiness and perfect knowledge. They are also called Jinas, or 'conquerors' because they have conquered and controlled their desires and attained a state of inner enlightenment.
