General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: Aspects of Jaina Art and ArchitectureKaṭṭhakamma (कट्ठकम्म) (in Prakrit) refers to “images made of wood”.—Images of Tīrthaṃkaras were made of stones, metals, wood, clay, precious gems, jewels or semi-precious stones. Speaking about sthāpāna or installation of a symbol for a Guru during his absence, the Jaina canonical text Anuyogadvāra-sūtra says that it may be made of wood (kaṭṭhakamma), stucco-work, painting, plaster, flower-work or knitting, or prepared by wrapped cloth or stuffed cast, repousse or beaten metal work.
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.
