CHAPTER 5
GEOMETRY OF JAIN TEMPLES
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Jainism has constructed a specific iconography and has created a large number of religious images and custom tools that are not used or adored by peoples of various religious and social events in the subcontinent. Several themes have been given by Jain fables, who give clear representations of incredible constructions, some of which have become a physical obstacle in Jain's Art and Architecture. In light of a habitual type of temple and worship of the statues, specific personalized devices that were reserved a couple of minutes to adapt and help the complex religious ceremony of Jain. This document will analyze three unmistakable Jain religious elements: meru, Samosaran and simhasana. Meru is a cosmological component, samosaran, considered all, an amazing development, and simhasana is a personalized tool. In its particular forms, each of the three things is new to Jainism. The three components form a unique entity because they are apparently unequivocally related. Each of the three is perfectly healthy pyramidal and includes three significant levels of overlap. The association between them, independently, is not just visual or basic (Hegewald, 2009).
5.2 COSMOLOGICAL AND JAIN TEMPLE
Jain's cosmological works offer minute representations of astronomical oceans and island rings. They represent what is recognized as the physical idea of the Jain universe, regardless of how its standard point is to give the disciples a manual for salvation. With the sole understanding of the form and geography of this moral and extraordinary universe, a superior kind of spiritual closeness. Essential for most of the representations of the universe, and the Jains can leave the generous world and go to the individual world, the terrestrial masses are the proximity of the consecrated mountains. Everywhere, these are particular vertices, but are consistently represented as complete mountain ranges. The Mount Meru, as the meaning of the mountain of Jain, has expanded the immensity in such a way that it has modeled a picture, which is illustrative of all the consecrated mountains of Jain.
