The sources of spiritual sentiments, religious stories, Shilpa Shastra and Tirthankar are the main ones in Jain scriptures.
Jainism and science have been promoted through science, poetry, stories, plays, articles and texts on worldly subjects.
Jain literature has been written in various Aryan as well as non-Aryan Dravidian languages and dialects of India.
Jain shrines have idols of many goddesses and Tirthankaras.
Among the idols are Ambika, Chakreshwari, Jawalini, Padmavati, Mahadevi, Chamunda, Bharti, and Saraswati.
The idols of Tirthankaras are identified in the temples of Jainism on the basis of the Yaksha, the ruling goddess and the stigma that accompanies them.
The non-violence attitude towards the living beings in Jainism only shows the stigma of the animals with every Tirthankar.
