Crescent Moon is the symbol of Chandraprabhu, the eighth Jain Tirthankara of the present age. He was born in Chandrapuri to King Mahasena and Queen Lakshmana Devi of the Ikshvaku dynasty. According to Jain traditions, he was born on the twelfth day of the Indian calendar's Posh Krishna month. Chandraprabhu is typically represented in a lotus or kayotsarga pose, with a crescent moon sign underneath him. He is shown with a Shrivatsa and downcast eyes, as do all Tirthankaras.
