In Jainism, Tirthankara was a savior who succeeded in crossing over life's stream of rebirths, making a path for others to follow. Each cosmic age produces its own group of twenty-four Tirthankaras. Jain Tirthankara shrines are often cast in metal as the cold surface of the metal serves to remind and emphasize the frozen detachment from life. These shrines are not worshiped as personal gods capable of bestowing blessings or interfering with human events, rather as representatives of great beings with a sense of renunciation and the highest virtues. Jain believers pay homage in the hope that they in turn are encouraged along the path towards their final self-liberation.
