Mahavira is considered the historical founder of Jainism.

Although according to Jain tradition, Rishabhdev was the first Tirthankara, Mahavira is considered the historical founder of Jainism because he gave the religion a well-organized form and preached its core principles (such as non-violence, truth, celibacy).

He is believed to have lived and preached in India between the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. Mahavira is regarded as the 24th and last Tirthankara (spiritual teacher) in the current cycle of Jainism.
