In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: Aspects of Jaina Art and ArchitectureVeṣṭima (वेष्टिम) (Sanskrit; in Prakrit: Veḍhima) refers to “images prepared by wrapped cloth”.—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, stucco-work, painting, plaster, flower-work or knitting, or prepared by wrapped cloth (veṣṭima / veḍhima) 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.
