Legend

There is no Jain textual authority for the statue of Ghantakarna Mahavira which is available in Kalpa texts or modern paintings. Buddhisagar Suri installed the anthropomorphic image of Ghantakarna Mahavira. It was in the Mahudi Jain temple. The worship of Ghantakarna was only in anthropomorphic yantras and in an abstract form. For instance, in paintings, they are as two, four, six, or eight armed with bows and arrows. His depiction is also with a shield, sword, mace, shield, vajra, bow and arrow, garland, and banner. Moreover, the anthropomorphic image depicts a standing man holding a bow and arrow to the left, with a crown and bell-shaped earrings on his head. He has bell-shaped ears (Ghanta and Karna) so his name was Ghantakarna Mahavira.
