Jainism symbol

The Jainism symbol is an assemblage of different symbols, each one having a deeper significance. This symbol was received by all factions of Jainism while honouring the 2500th commemoration of the nirvana of Lord Mahavira.

The diagram of the symbols of jainism is characterized as the universe (Lok). The lower piece of the symbol speaks to the seven hells (Naraki). The centre piece of the universe holds the Earth and the planets (Manushyalok). The upper part holds the great habitations) (of all the divine creatures and house the Siddhas (Siddhashila). Jains accept that this universe was not, one or the other made by anybody, nor would it be able to be wrecked by anybody. It may transform its structure, however else, it has dependably been and will dependably be here.
