The Serenity of Parshwanath: A Jain Masterpiece

This exquisite 9-inch sculpture of Lord Parshwanath, the 23rd Tirthankara in Jainism, is a testament to the artistry and devotion of Indian craftsmanship. Crafted from pristine super white Makrana marble, renowned for its purity and luminosity, this statue exudes a sense of tranquility and spiritual grace. The detail is breathtaking, from the serene expression on Lord Parshwanath's face to the intricate carving of his posture and the seven-headed cobra hood (multi-headed serpent) sheltering him. The subtle gold accents add a touch of regal splendor.

The Symbolism of the Seven-Headed Cobra

The seven-headed cobra, or *Sheshnag*, is a powerful symbol in Hindu and Jain mythology, often associated with protection, divinity, and prosperity. It represents the cyclical nature of time and the endless universe. Its presence above Lord Parshwanath signifies the protection and blessings bestowed upon him during his spiritual journey and enlightenment. This majestic creature, often depicted in various forms in Indian art, showcases the artistry and meticulous detail embedded in this sculpture, a visual representation of the rich cultural symbolism it holds.

Makrana Marble: A Legacy of Purity

The sculpture’s creation uses Makrana marble, quarried from the mines of Rajasthan, India. This marble, celebrated for centuries, has been used in many iconic structures across the world. Its exceptional whiteness signifies purity, while its smooth texture enhances the sculpture's ethereal quality. The choice of Makrana marble underscores the dedication to using only the finest materials to capture the essence of Lord Parshwanath's spiritual purity. This marble is considered sacred and thus, adds to the spiritual significance of the sculpture.

The Tirthankaras: Guiding Lights of Jainism

Lord Parshwanath, depicted in this sculpture, is revered as one of the 24 Tirthankaras in Jainism. Tirthankaras are spiritual teachers who achieved liberation (moksha) by conquering their karmas and reaching the ultimate truth. Parshwanath's life is full of teachings on non-violence, asceticism, and detachment, values that are deeply embedded in Jain philosophy. This sculpture serves as a powerful reminder of his teachings and inspires contemplation of the path to enlightenment. The serene posture in which he is depicted - seated in the *Padmasana* or lotus position - symbolizes his deep meditation and spiritual attainment.

A Piece of Spiritual Art for Your Home

This intricately hand-carved sculpture is more than just a decorative item; it's a piece of spiritual art that brings a sense of peace and serenity to any space. Place it in your meditation room, prayer space, or any area where you seek tranquility. Its presence is a constant reminder of the spiritual ideals of Jainism and a source of inspiration for a life of mindfulness and compassion. The compact size, measuring 9.0 x 6.0 x 3.0 inches, makes it suitable for various settings without dominating the space. It's a perfect blend of artistic beauty and spiritual significance, making it a cherished heirloom for generations to come.
