Siddhartha of Kundagrama

Siddartha was the father of Mahavira, the 24th and last Jain Tirthankara. He was a Kshatriya from Ikshvaku dynasty and the ruler of the Nata, or Jnatri clan in Kshatriyakundagrama, a suburb of Vaishali (Basarh in modern-day Bihar). Some sources believe his wife to have been Devananda, a Brahmin, while other traditional sources name his wife as the Kshatriya, Trishala (also known as Videhadinna or Priyakarni).

The parents of Tirthankaras are worshipped among Jains.
