Welcome

This website allows you to search, analyse, map, and download historical information on Jaina mendicants and householders from the Jaina Prosopography database.

The database was created for the sociological investigation of the history of Jaina monastic lineages, the relationships between Jaina mendicants and householders, and other aspects of Jaina history and culture, by cross-referencing previously unconnected evidence from bio-bibliographical and epigraphic sources on Jaina mendicants, scribes, and sponsors.

Jaina Prosopography Database is a project at SOAS University of London.
