General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Aspects of Jaina Art and ArchitectureGa峁囜弓hima (啶椸ぃ啷嵿啶苦ぎ) (in Prakrit) refers to 鈥渋mages made of knitting-work鈥�.鈥擨mages of T墨rtha峁僰aras were made of stones, metals, wood, clay, precious gems, jewels or semi-precious stones. Speaking about 蝉迟丑腻辫腻苍补 or installation of a symbol for a Guru during his absence, the Jaina canonical text Anuyogadv膩ra-s奴tra says that it may be made of wood, stucco-work, painting, plaster, flower-work or knitting (驳补峁囜弓丑颈尘补), or prepared by wrapped cloth or stuffed cast, repousse or beaten metal work.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
