ٲ󾱱貹ṇa (दधिपर्�) is the name of the caitya-tree under which the parents of Dharma are often depicted in Jaina iconography, according to both the Śvetāmbara and Digambara tradition. The term caitya refers to “sacred shrine�, an important place of pelgrimage and meditation in Jainism. Sculptures with such caitya-trees generally shows a male and a female couple seated under a tree with the female having a child on her lap. Usually there is a seated Jina figure on top of the tree.

Dharma is the fifteenth of twenty-four īٳṅk: enlightened beings who, having conquered ṃs (cycle of birth and death), leave a path behind for others to follow. His father is Bhānu and his mother is Suvratā, according to the Ācāradinakara (14th century work on Jain conduct written by Vardhamāna Sūri).
