Shri Parshvanatha, the 23rd Tirthankara of Jainism, is depicted in meditative postures, often shielded by a seven-hooded serpent symbolizing divine protection. His serene expression, halo, and unclothed form reflect enlightenment and renunciation. The serpent, Dharnendra, represents his spiritual strength and connection to nature. With elongated earlobes and a snake symbol at the base, his iconography embodies Jain ideals of non-violence, detachment, and liberation, inspiring devotees on their spiritual path.
