The leading founder of Jainism is traditionally regarded as Lord Mahavira, also known as Vardhamana. He lived in the 6th century BCE and is considered the 24th Tirthankara, a spiritual teacher who has attained enlightenment. Mahavira emphasized the principles of non-violence, truth, and asceticism, which are central to Jain beliefs.
