Jainism Basic Knowledge

Jainism Religion was known among the people of Indus Valley around 3000-3500 B.C. The sacred signs or Symbol of swastika are found engraved on a number of seals. There are some motifs on the seals found in Mohenjodaro and it suggested that these motif are identical with those found in the ancient Jain art of Mathura. It strongly suggests that Jainism existed in pre-Aryan time and this presence of Jain tradition in the earliest period of Indian history is supported by many scholars.
