unknown - The Eleven Disciples (Ganadharas) of Mahavira- Folio from a Kalpasutra Manuscript - 15th century v1 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

Eleven seated, haloed figures sit in a row of red thrones, each one a principal disciple of the Jain Tirthankara Mahavira, drawn in the gouache manuscript style of fifteenth-century Western India.

Visual Elements & Composition

The folio is organised as a rectangular page divided into a grid of panels, with an arched red frame crowning the top. Vermilion red sets the rhythm, returning in each throne and the arch, while ultramarine blue panels hold the eye at the centre. Cream ground, gold ochre and warm brown fill the remaining space. The figures wear robes built from fine dots, a visual pattern that gives the whole page a textile-like shimmer. A central gold symbol in its blue panel anchors the composition.

Meaning & Symbolism

The eleven ganadharas were the chief disciples who carried Mahavira's teaching forward after his liberation. Their repeated figures make the lineage visible, linking the founder to the monastic community that preserved his doctrine. The folio comes from a Kalpasutra, a foundational Jain text on the lives of the Tirthankaras, and its imagery marks the move from Mahavira's oral revelations to codified scripture. Produced in Gujarat during the fifteenth century, the page shows how manuscript painters organised sacred knowledge through stylised, formal conventions.

On the Kiss-Cut Sticker

Kiss-cut, this artwork is trimmed to its own outline, so the arched frame and the tiered panels read as a single object once applied. The eleven seated figures, the red thrones and the blue centre stay sharp at the scale of a hand, which suits a design built from repeated, closely drawn forms. Place it where a collector will look at it up close, and the dotted robes and gold accents reward the attention.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
