caption_attribution_description: Vue d'ensemble du temple de Parshvanath à Khajuraho Ce temple est le plus imposant des temples jaïns du groupe est de Khajuraho. Il est renommé pour la qualité de ses sculptures extérieures. La religion jaïn n'étant pas touchée par le tantrisme, aucune scène érotique n'existe parmi les décors de ce temple qui date de la période 950-970. Le Jaïnisme a été fondé au VIème siècle avant J.-C. par Mahavira (599-527 av J-C), qui était un contemporain du Bouddha. Tous deux s'opposaient au système des castes, au pouvoir des brahmanes et aux rites hindouistes. La non-violence (Ahimsa) est l'un des fondements de la religion jaïne. Selon Wikipedia, Parshvanâtha (Parshvanath) - au VIIIe ou VIIe siècle av. J.-C. - est un ascète membre du clan des Licchavi, qui aurait fondé un ordre comprenant 8 communautés. Ce temple lui a été dédié au XIXème siècle, cet ascète a été l'inspirateur de la religion jaïne. Les maîtres sont représentés nus sur les panneaux sculptés.
