His curly hair is piled up on His head, ending in a knot on top, and a multi headed Snake rises from behind Him, and fans its hood protectively over Lord Mahaveer’s head and His face looks radiant with a smile. Like the other Tirthankaras preceding Him, Mahaveera Swami too is bare bodied, which is a part of renunciation of material aspects. This Mahaveer Swami idol can be kept in the Puja alter at home or office to garner His grace.

Mahaveer Swami, also called Vardhmana, was the last of the Tirthankaras (supreme preacher and spiritual Master) whose main teaching were the five vows, which are needed to be spiritually liberated, which are; Non-violence – Ahimsa, Truth – Satya, Chastity/celibacy – Brahmacharya, Non-stealing – Asteya and non-attachment – Aparigraha. He preached about principles were required for spiritual attainments, which are Anekantavada(multi-faceted truth), and Syadvada and Nayavada. These and other principles required for spiritual transformation and Moksha, were taught by Him. Worshipping Mahaveer Swami blesses the devotees with expansion of consciousness, spiritual advancement, wisdom, protection, good health, and helps to liberate oneself from the cycles of birth and death.
