Created to mark the completion of a fast, this chhod pata illustrates the pilgrimage site (tirtha) Ashtapada, a sacred mountain on which the first Jain Tirthankara, Rishabhdeva, attained nirvana. A tirtha (lit. “crossing”) overlaps a space of worldly engagement with a transcendent one of liberation (moksha). Rishabhadeva’s son, Bharata, built the first temples in our time atop the mountain, prophetically consecrating images of the twenty-four Jinas of our age. Perceiving a degeneration of morality over time, he hewed eight massive “steps” into the mountain, making it impassable to all but the most accomplished ascetics. In some Jain sources, Mt. Kailasa is considered the site of Ashtapada, but its exact location remains unknown - Guatama's Pilgrimage to Ashtapada - 3D model by The Fowler Museum at UCLA (@falbrezzi_ucla) 3D Model is ready to download for free, this model contains 328 polygons.
