Padmāvatī is the protecting goddess of Parshva, twenty-third tirthankara in Jainism. She enjoys an independent religious life and is very popular amongst Jains.[1] According to the Digambara tradition, Padmavati and her husband Dharanendra protected Parshva when he was harassed by Meghalin.[2] Svetambara tradition, however, does not list Padmavati among the main queens of Dharanendra.[3]
