Source: Shodhganga: A cultural study on the jain western Indian illustrated manuscriptsHariṇaigameśi (हरिणैगमेशि).—The character of Hariṇaigameśin is very special in the Jaina art as the envoy of Indra entrusted with the midwifery job of transference of the divine embryo. The artist has depicted Hariṇaigameśi reporting to Indra, standing face to face with the celestial god and receiving instructions. Hariṇaigameśi is a composite figure with the head of a deer grafted on human body. In some texts he is referred as Indra’s military commander.
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.
