Jainism: teachers, vows & communities

About this quiz

What this quiz covers

Move from the Tirthankaras and early teachers to the ethical framework of Jain vows and everyday religious life. You’ll also meet the major communities and sects, including how monks, nuns, and lay followers organize practice.

Each question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can focus on accuracy and learning rather than speed.

Skills you’ll practice

Build confidence with key vocabulary, doctrines, and historical context—especially where Jainism overlaps with broader Ancient Indian religious history. Expect a balanced mix of straightforward recall and “spot the distinction” questions.

Identifying major teachers, Tirthankaras, and key biographical traditions
Matching vows (mahavratas/anuvratas) to their meanings and applications
Distinguishing sects and communities (e.g., Digambara vs. Svetambara)
Connecting practices like ahimsa and aparigraha to daily life and ethics
Interpreting common terms, symbols, and text references

Common pitfalls and how to avoid them

Many misses come from mixing up similar-sounding terms, confusing sect-specific practices, or assuming one community’s customs apply to all. Slow down on “except/NOT” wording and watch for near-identical options.

Difficulty and length options

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: easier questions reinforce fundamentals while tougher ones test finer details and comparisons. You can choose the number of questions and the difficulty level before starting, making it suitable for quick revision or deeper practice sessions.
