Jainism is an ancient Indian religion that teaches that the way to liberation is to live a life of non-violence, non-attachment, and non-possession. Jains believe that the universe is eternal and that there is no creator god. They also believe that the soul is eternal and that it is reborn into different bodies until it achieves liberation.

The goal of Jainism is to achieve moksha, which is liberation from the cycle of rebirth. This is achieved by following the path of ahimsa, or non-violence. Jains believe that all living beings are equal and that violence against any living being is wrong. They also believe that attachment to material things is a source of suffering and that one should strive to live a simple life.

Jainism is a minority religion in India, with about 4.5 million followers. The majority of Jains live in the Indian states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh.
