Chandraprabha in Meditation Jains worship Tirthankaras not as gods but as Enlightened, Victorious beings who are represented standing or sitting in meditation posture. The selection of a particular Jina is left to one's own choice. Chandraprabhu, the 8th Tirthankara is seated in meditation. A large number of images of individual Jinas are available in miniature and other paintings, in stone, metal and other mediums. Jina worship is an important aspect of spiritual practice of the Jains. It induces the devotee to imbibe the Jina's divine qualities and strive to attain His perfection.
