Nandy Avarta Jainism Symbols Adjustable Bracelet

The Nandyavarta is one of the eight Ashtamangala or auspicious symbols. Two Tirthankaras, or spiritual gurus, are also represented by it in Jainism. While the Nandyavarta represents the Digambara sect's 7th Tirthankara Supershvanatha, the Svetambara sect's Nandyavarta signifies the 18th Tirthankara Aranatha. Before beginning their daily prayers, Jainists are required to etch the auspicious symbols, including the Nandyavarta sign, in unbroken rice, according to Jain texts. In Jainism, the Nandyavarta symbol represents pleasure and plenty.
