History of Jainism History of Jainism concerns a religion founded in Ancient India. Jains trace their history through twenty-four tirthankara and revere Rishabhanatha as the first tirthankara (in the present time-cycle). The last two tirthankara, the 23rd tirthankara Parshvanatha (c. 872 – c. 772 BCE)[2][3] and the 24th tirthankara Mahavira (c. 599 – c. 527 BCE)[4] are considered historical figures,[5][6] though many historians date them both about a century later because the Mahavira is widely accepted as a contemporary of the Buddha, and significantly more historical evidence is available for the Buddha.[7] According to Jain texts, the 22nd Tirthankara Arshth-nemi[8] lived about 85,000 years ago and was the cousin of Hindu god Krishna.[9][10] Jains consider their religion to be eternal.[11]
