According to Jains Jainism is an eternal religion, it has no origin. However, for this time frame (kaal) Lord Adinath is accounted as the first Tirthankar of Jains, he who practiced Jainism, for the first time (in present time frame), in the form which is followed till today.

It is widely accepted that Lord Adinath practiced and propagated this religion in most major parts of South Asia. However, recent evidences have been found which extend this region to even the parts of Central Asia. So, nothing can be told very surely about the correct origins of Jainism.

Still, Jains do believe that Jainism originated (for this time frame) in India.
