In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: JainismAbhiṣekaśālā (अभिषेकशाला) refers to a type of apartment found in the mansions of the cities of the Mahoraga class of vyantara Gods (devas), according to Jain cosmological texts, such as the Tiloyapannatti.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
