Identifying the 24th Jain Tirthankara
The twenty-fourth and final Tirthankara in Jainism was Lord Mahavira.
Key Jain Tirthankaras:
- Lord Mahavira: The 24th Tirthankara. He is the most well-known and the last spiritual teacher in the current era according to Jain tradition.
- Lord Rishabha: Also known as Adinatha, he was the first Tirthankara.
- Lord Parasnath: He was the 23rd Tirthankara, preceding Lord Mahavira.
While Gomateshwara (Bahubali) is a significant figure in Jainism, particularly revered for his statue, he is not counted among the 24 Tirthankaras.
Therefore, Lord Mahavira is the correct answer for the twenty-fourth Jain Tirthankara.
