Lotus Jainism Symbols Adjustable Open Ring

Red Lotus is the symbol of Padmaprabhu, the current sixth Jain Tirthankara. Padmaprabhu means 'bright as a crimson lotus' in Sanskrit. According to Svetambara sources, his mother had a thing for a couch of red lotuses – Padma – when he was pregnant. According to Jain teachings, he became a Siddha – a freed soul and obtained moksha on Sammet Shikhar on the eleventh day of the dark half of the month of Margashirsha, together with 308 other saints. He is linked with the Red Lotus symbol, the Chatrabha tree, Manovega Yaksha, Mangupta Yaksha, and Syama Achyuta Yakshi.
