General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IGodipur (Gori) is the name of an ancient city (also known as Goḍīpura), according to the Goḍīpārśvanāthastavana (dealing with Pārśva in Jain literature), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—Godipur (Gori) is located in Sindh, now in the Tharparkar district of Pakistan, and became inaccessible. Even before partition, numerous Pārśvanātha images called goḍī were installed at several places, the most famous one being the Pāydhunī at Mumbai.
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.
