Detailed explanation-1: -Mahavira is regarded as the man who gave Jainism its present-day form; although this is true only in the widest sense. He is sometimes wrongly called “the founder of Jainism". Mahavira is only this world’s most recent tirthankara (and will be the last one in this age).
Detailed explanation-2: -Vardhamana Mahavira, the last Tirthankara was the founder of Jainism.
Detailed explanation-3: -Jains believe that their tradition does not have a historical founder. The first Jain figure for whom there is reasonable historical evidence is Parshvanatha (or Parshva), a renunciant teacher who may have lived in the 7th century bce and founded a community based upon the abandonment of worldly concerns.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lord Mahavira. Mahavir was born to King Siddhartha of Kundagrama and Queen Trishala, a Lichchhavi princess in the year 540 BC in the Vajji kingdom, identical with modern day Vaishali in Bihar.
Detailed explanation-5: -Jainism was founded by Lord Mahavira. He was 24th Jain Tirthankara. He is also known as Vardhamana.
