Marriage possession of Neminath
The folio depicts the Marriage procession of Neminath or Neminath vivaha mahotsava.
The marriage episode of Neminath is quite unique among all the biographic episodes of Tirthankaras. The text mention that Tirthankara has to marry and then enact the renunciation, and therefore, we have already come across the episode of inculcating in Neminath the interest in worldly or grhastha life. The episode of Neminath arriving for wedding but staging a retreat, when he was informed that the crying animals were to be slaughtered for cooking the feast for the guests.
