Kalyāṇamandira (कल्याणमन्दिर) refers to the “(great) abode of the auspicious events”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “The doctrine freely bestows the power of the venerable omniscient one which is furnished with the great eminences [and] is the great abode of the auspicious [events] (kalyāṇamandirakalyāṇoddāmamandiram). It goes along with [sentient beings to the other world], then it protects, produces benefit always [and], having saved [them] from the mire of life it sets [them] on the pure path [of liberation]”.

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.
