Jainism

Jainism is one of the oldest religions in the world. It originated in antique India in the 5th or 6th century BC. It developed from Brahmanism, just like Hinduism and Buddhism. The faith prescribes complete self-control and non-violence towards all living creatures (ahimsa) as well as the renunciation of all superfluous belongings (aparigraha) and truthfulness in words and actions (Satya). Thus, with spiritual guidance by so-called Tirthankara, one is on the path to enlightenment.



Condition: The painting is in overall good condition consistent with age. There are surface abrasions and rubbing. Some staining here and there as well as losses to the outer red borders are visible. The dimensions are 113 x 82 cm.
