Jivantasvami

Jivantasvami images represent the Jain Tirthankara Mahavira (and in some cases other Tirthankaras) as a prince, with a crown and ornaments. The Jina is represented as standing in the kayotsarga pose. Jivantasvami images have been used only in the Śvetāmbara Jain tradition, they are unknown in the Digambara tradition.
