Rishabhanatha
![The idol of Lord Rishabhanatha at [[Palitana Temples]] situated in [[Bhavnagar District]], [[Gujarat]]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/Shatrunjay_Adinath_Rishabhdev_Bhagwan.jpg)
According to traditional accounts, he was born to king Nabhi and queen Marudevi in the north Indian city of Ayodhya, also called Vinita. He had two wives, Sumangalā and Sunandā. Sumangalā is described as the mother of his ninety-nine sons (including Bharata) and one daughter, Brahmi. Sunandā is depicted as the mother of Bahubali and Sundari. The sudden death of Nilanjana, one of the dancers sent by Indra in his courtroom, reminded him of the world's transitory nature, and he developed a desire for renunciation.
After his renunciation, the legends as described in major Jain texts such as Hemachandra's ''Trishashti-Shalakapurusha-Charitra'' and ''Adinathcharitra'' written by Acharya Vardhamansuri state Rishabhanatha travelled without food for 400 days. The day on which he got his first '''' (food) is celebrated by Jains as Akshaya Tritiya. In devotion to Rishabhanatha, Śvetāmbara Jains perform a 400-day-long fast, in which they consume food on alternating days. This religious practice is known as ''Varshitap.'' The fast is broken on Akshaya Tritiya. He attained ''Moksha'' on Mount Asthapada (Kailash). The text ''Adi Purana'' by Jinasena, ''Aadesvarcharitra'' within the ''Trishashti-Shalakapurusha-Charitra'' by Hemachandra are accounts of the events of his life and teachings. His iconography includes ancient idols such as at Kulpak Tirth and Palitana temples as well as colossal statues such as Statue of Ahimsa, Bawangaja and those erected in Gopachal hill. His icons include the eponymous bull as his emblem, the Nyagrodha tree, Gomukha (bull-faced) Yaksha, and Chakreshvari Yakshi. Provided by Wikipedia
