On whose teachings was Jainism based?

Jainism is based on the teachings of Mahavira, who is considered its 24th Tirthankara, or spiritual teacher. Mahavira lived in the 6th century BCE and emphasized principles such as non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), and asceticism. His teachings advocate for the liberation of the soul through ethical living and self-discipline. Jainism also acknowledges earlier Tirthankaras, but Mahavira is the most prominent figure in its modern form.
