Bhagwan Parshvanath is revered as the 23rd Tirthankara of Jainism, preceding Bhagwan Mahavira. According to Jain tradition, he was born in Varanasi to King Ashwasena and Queen Vamadevi of the Ikshvaku dynasty, and is regarded by historians as among the earliest Tirthankaras for whom independent historical evidence exists.
Parshvanath's iconography is instantly recognisable by the canopy of serpent hoods that rises above his head — a symbol of steadfast meditation protected by the serpent king Dharanendra. At Shilakrut, every handcrafted Marble Parshvanath Statue is sculpted from premium Makrana marble, preserving this sacred iconography with the serenity, balance, and quiet strength associated with the Tirthankara tradition.
Parshvanath is among the most widely worshipped Tirthankaras across both Digambara and Shvetambara Jain traditions, with major pilgrimage centres including Shri Sammed Shikharji (Parasnath Hill) in Jharkhand, where he is believed to have attained liberation (moksha).

The life and teachings of Parshvanath are preserved through Jain scriptures, oral tradition, and centuries of continuous temple worship.
According to Jain tradition, Parshvanath renounced worldly life at a young age to pursue asceticism and, after a period of deep meditation, attained Kevala Jnana — omniscient knowledge. His teachings are known as Chaturyama Dharma, the four great vows: ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truth), asteya (non-stealing), and aparigraha (non-possession) — principles later expanded by Mahavira into the five great vows (Panch Mahavrata) followed by Jains today.
The serpent hoods that crown his image commemorate a well-known episode from his ascetic life, in which he remained unmoved in meditation despite an attack by a hostile spirit, and was sheltered by the serpent king Dharanendra and his consort Padmavati — a story that has come to symbolise unwavering inner steadiness in the face of adversity.
Each year, thousands of Jain pilgrims undertake the journey to Shri Sammed Shikharji, walking the sacred hill in quiet reverence for the Tirthankara who taught that liberation is found through discipline, truth, and non-violence.
At Shilakrut, sacred sculpture is approached as a meeting point between tradition, craftsmanship, and spiritual meaning — giving form to Jain devotion through stone.
Every element of Parshvanath's iconography carries deep spiritual meaning, distinguishing him from the other twenty-three Tirthankaras.
Parshvanath is depicted in a few classical forms — each capturing a distinct aspect of his ascetic and meditative presence.
Traditional Jain devotional practices offer guidance for installing a Parshvanath murti — for formal ritual worship, families and derasars typically follow the guidance of their own acharya or sampradaya.
- Place the murti in a clean and elevated sacred space
- East or north-facing installations are commonly preferred in home derasars
- Keep the worship area peaceful, simple, and uncluttered
Every Marble Parshvanath Statue at Shilakrut is created through a careful seven-stage process — honouring the discipline and serenity central to the Tirthankara tradition.
The process begins with careful study of traditional Jain iconographic texts and temple sculptures, determining the exact posture, hood count, and proportions for the intended installation.

- Shrivatsa and auspicious marks
