Ganadhar

All you want to know about Ganadhar

In Jainism, a Ganadhara is a primary disciple of a Tirthankara.[1][2] All twenty-four Tirthankaras had Ganadharas, but the amounts varied.

Ganadhara are at the most honourable position amongst 'Sadhu Pad'. Because they are second provider of 'Diwyadhawani' after 'Teerthankara'. The main Ganadhara of Mahaveer Swami was "Gautam swami". The place of Ganadhara is important in reference of Jain Manglacharan i.e.

"Mangalam Bhagwaan Veero, Mangalam Gautamo Gani..
Mangalam Kunkundaryo, Jain Dharmostu Mangalam"
