Jain Emblem (Jain Prateek Chihna)
In 1974, during the auspicious 2,500th (Nirvana) anniversary of Lord Mahavir (the last Jain Tirthankara) the Jain community at large collectively chose one image as an emblem to be the main identifying symbol for the Jain religion. Since then, this emblem is used in almost all of the Jain magazines, on wedding cards, on Jain festival cards (for Kshamavani, Diwali, etc.), and in magazines with links to events related to Jain society. Use of this emblem helps to create a culture showing dedication and trust for the religion and the values that are represented by their emblem.

Lying together there goes back so far,
An emblem of two people being honest.”
