Some Distinctive feature
Statues of Parshvanath have a snake crown on the head.

The first Tirthankara Rishabha can be identified by the locks of hair falling on his shoulders.

Sometimes Suparshvanath is shown with a small snake-hood.

Bahubali is in motionless contemplation in kayotsarga (standing still) posture led to the growth of climbing vines around his legs.

Eyes are neither opened nor closed.

Demystifying Karma Theory

#Jainism

Karmas can be considered a kind of system of laws but natural rather than moral laws

Jain snake and ladder

Gyan chauper/Jnan chauper (game of wisdom), the version associated with the Jain philosophy encompasses the concepts like karma and Moksha.

Karmas are often wrongly interpreted as a method for reward and punishment of a soul for its good and bad deeds

In Jainism there is no question of there being any reward or punishment, as each soul is the master of its own destiny
