Synopsis
The Jainas: Origins and Traditions reveals how a historical survey traces texts, communities, and rituals from inscriptions to cosmology.

It connects inscriptions, temple legends, and mythic narratives with the social history of Jain sects and their teachers.

- See how Jain monastic orders, temples, and genealogies grew from the eighth to the second century BCE and beyond.
