Explanation

Jainism recognizes 24 Tirthankaras (spiritual teachers and enlightened beings) in the current time cycle. The last two were Parshvanatha (23rd Tirthankara) and Mahavira (24th Tirthankara), with Mahavira being the historical founder of Jainism as it is practiced today. Tirthankaras are those who have conquered the cycle of rebirth and show others the path to liberation.
