Bhagwan Rushabhnath, also known as Ādināth, is revered as the first Tirthankara of the current time cycle in Jainism. Born in Ayodhya to King Nabhi and Queen Marudevi, he laid the foundation of human civilization by introducing agriculture, trade, writing, and governance. As a king, he guided society with wisdom and compassion, and as a spiritual seeker, he renounced worldly life to attain Kevalgyan (omniscience) through deep meditation.

He established the Jain Sangha and preached the path of ahimsa (non-violence), truth, and liberation. His symbol is the bull, and he is deeply venerated for initiating the dharma that leads souls across the ocean of rebirths. Bhagwan Rushabhnath attained moksha at Mount Ashtapad, becoming a Siddha—liberated and eternal.
