Tirthankaras is a term that is associated with Jainism. Tirthankar is made up of two words:&nbsp; &#8220;Tirtha&#8221; and &#8220;Samsara&#8221;. Samsara means the worldly life, and Tirtha is a site of pilgrimage. In Jainism, a Tirthankara is someone who has successfully passed through the cycle of birth and death and created a way for others to do the same. Tirthankaras is referred to as &#8220;Jin&#8221; in Jainism, which means &#8220;conqueror of all likelihood.&#8221; There are twenty-four Tirthankaras in Jainism. This is an important topic for the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/indian-exams\/upsc-prelims-eligibility-criteria\/\">UPSC<\/a><\/strong>&#8211; Art and Culture examination.

It is a common soul who was born into this world and became a Tirthankar through strict devotion, calmness, and meditation. Consequently, the Tirthankara is not defined as an Avatar (a god), but rather as a pure and developed soul. Throughout human history, there have been great teachers in Jainism known as Tirthankaras. After reaching the peaks of spiritual achievement, they imparted their knowledge to others on how to achieve spiritual loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jains honour five significant occasions in a Tirthankara&#8217;s life. We refer to them as Kalyanak or fortunate events. They are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"300\"  height=\"220\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Jain Tirthankaras\"  class=\"wp-image-839237 pk-lazyload\"  style=\"width:368px;height:auto\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover-test\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/08\/24-Tirthankaras.webp\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/08\/15080401\/24-Tirthankaras.webp 300w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/08\/15080401\/24-Tirthankaras-150x110.webp 150w\" ><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Wikipedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>1.<strong> Garbha Kalyanak<\/strong>: This marks the moment when the soul of the Tirthankar enters the mother&#8217;s womb after leaving its previous life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Janma Kalyanak:<\/strong> The soul of the Tirthankar is born at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.<strong> Diksha Kalyanak:<\/strong> At this point, the Tirthankar&#8217;s soul gives up everything materialistic and transforms into a monk or nun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <strong>Kevalgyan Kalyanak:<\/strong> This is the moment when the soul of the Tirthankar fully achieves total knowledge.
