Jainism is one of the ancient and indigenous religions of India, which was originally founded by the first Tirthankara called Varishbeh or Raishbeh and After her, 23 other Tirthankara appear, the last of which is the Mahavira of Buddhist ascetics in the fifth century BC. Recognizing and practicing Tirthankara has a high status among the followers of Jain, and although the Jains claim to have been billions of years ago, the relatively long biographies of each Tirthankara and their previous lives are provided in Jain texts. In addition, in their temples there are adorned statues of arrows that attention and meditation on them is part of their worship rituals. In this article, due to the importance of Tirthankara, only this issue has been addressed and a comprehensive summary of Jainism cosmology related to the geography of Tirthankara and the brief reference to the life of Jain-index Tirthankara has been provided. Also, their previous and current mental and physical condition, how they achieved the position of archetype, their similarities and saving or sucking a Tirthankara from the cycle of reincarnation are other issues in the present article.
