mahanpaapi Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 A Jain Cosmic Diagram Depicting Lokapurusha, India, 18th/19th Century Jain paintings depicting the Cosmic Man (lokapurusha) are meditative objects using the human body as a metaphor for the cosmos. The body is divided into the adholoka (lower or hellish realm), madhyaloka (middle realm), and urdhvaloka (upper realm). The Cosmic Man grasps Adhaidvipa or the human realm (within two blue circles) in each hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
