Munisuvrata
Munisuvratanatha () was the twentieth Tirthankara of the present half time cycle ("avasarpini") in Jain cosmology. He became a siddha, a liberated soul which has destroyed all of his karma. Events of the Jaina version of Ramayana are placed at the time of Munisuvratanatha. "Munisuvratanatha" lived for over 30,000 years. His chief apostle (gaṇadhara") was sage "Malli Svāmi". Legends. Munisuvrata was the twentieth "tirthankara" of the present half time cycle ("avasarpini") in Jain cosmology. Jain texts like "padmapurana" place him as a contemporary of Rama. According to Jain texts, "Munisuvrata" was born as 54 lakh years passed after the birth  of the nineteenth "tirthankara", "Mallinātha". According to Jain beliefs, "Munisuvrata" descended from the heaven called "Ānata kalpa" on the twelfth day of the bright half of the month of "Āśvina – āśvina śukla dvādaśi"– to queen "Padmavati" and king "Sumitra". On the third day of "Shraavana" (month) "Krishna" (dark fortnight) according to Hindu calendar, queen Padmavati of Rajgir saw sixteen auspicious dreams. When she shared her dreams with her husband, king Sumitra of the Harivamsa clan, he explained that a "tirthankara" will be born to them soon. Then, Munisuvrata was born to them on the fifteenth day of the "Shraavana Shukla  (bright fortnight) in 1,184,980 BC. His height is mentioned to be 20 bows (60 metres) and complexion as a dark one. According to Jain texts, after spending 7,500 years as a youth, Munisuvrata is believed to have ruled his kingdom for 15,000 years (rājyakāla"). He then renounced all worldly pursuits and became a monk. According to Jain beliefs, he spent 11 months performing karma-destroying austerities and then attained the all-embracing knowledge – Omniscience ("kevala jñāna") under a Champaka tree. He is said to have 18 "ganadharas" headed by Malli. Puspavati or Puspadatta is believed to be the head-nun  of his order. "Samayavayanga sutra", however, names Kumbha and Amila as the head "ganadhara" and head nun respectively. Munisuvrata is said to have lived for over 30,000 years and attained liberation ("nirvāña") from Sammeda śikhara on the twelfth day of the dark half of the month of "phālguna – phālguna kṛṣna dvādaśi". Varuna is mentioned to be his "yaksha" and his yakhsini is named Bahurupini in "Digambara" tradition and Naradatta in "Svetambara" tradition. Munisuvrata finds mentions in Jain texts like "Uttarapurana" and "Tiloyapannati". Adoration. "Svayambhustotra" by "Acharya Samantabhadra" is the adoration of twenty-four tirthankaras. Its five slokas (aphorisms) adore the  qualities of "Munisuvratanātha". An idol of Munisuvrata was installed in 127 AD or 157 AD in the "Devanirmita stupa", Mathura. Iconography. Mahavira is usually depicted in a sitting (or standing) meditative pose, with a lion symbol beneath him; each "tīrthankara" has a distinct emblem, which allows worshippers to distinguish similar idols. Jivantasvami represents Munisuvrata as a princely state. The Jina is represented as standing in the kayotsarga pose wearing crown and ornaments. Statue of Purity is a statue dedicated to Munisuvrata under construction in Bhora Kalan, Haryana.
