Samavasarana

In Jainism, Samavasarana or Samosharana ("Refuge to All") is the divine preaching hall of the Tirthankara, stated to have more than 20,000 stairs in it.

[1] The Samavasarana seems to have replaced the original Jain stupa as an object of worship.

[5] The total size of the hall varies depending upon the height of the people in that era.

[6] In samavasarana, a tirthankara sits facing the east, but appears to be looking in all directions.

[4] Tirthankara sits on a soft cushion while preaching the Jain philosophy in plain terms.
