Heron Jainism Symbols Adjustable Open Ring

Heron is the symbol of Sumatinath, the present fifth Jain Tirthankara. He was born in the Ikshvaku dynasty to Kshatriya King Megha (Meghaprabha) and Queen Mangala (Sumangala) at Ayodhya. His birthday fell on the eighth day of the Jain calendar's Vaisakha Sudi month. He gained Kevala Jnana under the sala or priyangu tree. He attained the status of Siddha, a freed soul who has annihilated all of its karma. The Heron (Krauncha) symbol, the Priyangu tree, the Tumburu (Purushadatta) Yaksha, and the Mahakala Yakshi are all linked with Lord Sumithanatha.
