Ambika (Jainism)

She is frequently represented as a pair (Yaksha Sarvanubhuti on the right and Kushmandini on the left) with a small Tirthankar image on the top.

[7] One day, Soma invited Brahmins to perform Śrāddha (funeral ceremony) and left Agnila at home.

Varadatta, the chief disciple of Neminatha,[8] was passing by and asked for food from Agnila to end his month-long fast.

Demi-gods were angry at the treatment meted out to Angila and decided to drown the entire village, but her house.

Upon seeing her husband approach her, afraid of punishment, a scared Angila committed suicide by jumping off the cliff, but she was instantly reborn as Goddess Ambika.

[11] Goddess Ambika along with Padmavati and Chakreshvari is held as an esteemed deity and along with Tirthankaras, is worshipped by Jains.

Kushmandini appeared disguised as a poor old woman holding milk in the shell of half of a white Gullikayi fruit and the abhisheka was done from head to toe.

Chavundaraya realised his mistake and did abhishek without pride and arrogance and this time abhisheka was done from head to toe.

The sculpture has a two-line Sanskrit inscription in Nagari script about the date of its installation - "Ambikadevi, Shaka 1173, Virodhikrit.

The worship of Goddess Ambika, the tutelary deity of Shri Munisuvrata-Nemi-Parshva Jinalaya, Santhu is popular among devotees.
