Shankha Conch Jainism Symbols Adjustable Open Ring

Neminatha is the twenty-second Tirthankara in Jainism, and the conch is his symbol. He was the youngest of the royal couple, Samudravijaya and Shivadevi. A common theme in Jain art is the story of Neminatha, who, upon hearing the screams of animals being slaughtered for the wedding feast, abandoned his bride, let free the captive animals, and renounced the world to become a monk. He had reached moksha on the Girnar Hills, a Jains' pilgrimage site. Neminatha's yaksha and yakshi are Sarvanha, Ambika, Gomedha, and Ambika. Neminatha is one of the twenty-four Tirthankaras that the Jains revere with the greatest devotion, along with Mahavira, Parshvanatha, and Rishabhanatha.
