“There is no Jain textual authority to the iconography of Ghantakarna Mahavir described in kalpa texts or modern paintings. Until Buddhisagar Suri established anthropomorphic image of Ghantakarna Mahavir at Mahudi Jain Temple, Ghantakarna Mahavir was worshiped only in anthropomorphic yantras and in an abstract forms.”
