In Jainism, a Tirthankara ("Fordmaker") is a human who achieved Enlightenment (concept), became a Jiva, and whose religion teachings have formed the canon of Jainism; although not Gods, statues of Tirthankaras are found in temples. Each Tirthankara is associated with an animal, object (philosophy), or other such symbol. Tirthankaras are so-named because they were the founders of "tirtha". which were communities of Jainists said to act as a "ford (river) across the river of human misery". All the Tirthankaras are said to have been princes, who adopted ascetic; except for the 19th, which Svetambaras believe to have been a woman. Many scholars believe that only the last two Tirthankaras actually existed. ==List of Tirthankaras== The 24 Tirthankaras in order with their symbols are as follows: # Rishabhadeva (Adinathji, Rishabdaji) - Bull # Ajitnathji - Elephant # Sambharnathji - Horse # Abhiaandam Swamy - Monkey # Sumathinathji - Curlew (Kraunea) # Padamprabhu - Red Lotus # Suparaswanath - Swastik # Chandraji Prabhu - Moon # Suvidhinathji - Crocodile # Shitalnathji - Srivatsa # Shregansnath - Rhinoceros # Vasupujya - Buffalo # Vimalnath - Boar # Ananthnath - Bear (Falcon) # Dharamnath - Spike-headed Club (Vajradanda) # Shantinath - Deer # Kuntunath - He-Goat # Arnathji - Fish # Mallinath - Water Pot # Muniswasthji - Tortoise # Naminath - Blue Lotus # Neminath - Shell (Conch) # Parswanath - Serpent # Mahavira - Lion Jainism
