________________
Jaina Rock-cut Caves in Western India Mahanubhava sect bears strong imprints of the Jaina concepts. Jnaneshvara takes notice of Jaina practices of tonsure and straining water in Jnanesvari. Thus, Jainism appears to have integrated with the society in Maharashtra. Jaina stories are woven into Marathi folksongs, while Jaina invocation 'Om Namah Siddham', has been incorporated into the culture of Marathi population. Again, the fact that many of the Jaina centres were strongholds of Brahmanism too, indicates cordial relations of the Jainas with the Brahmanical society and also points to the influential position of the Jainas in the society in Maharashtra.
