Siddhartha was the father of Mahavira (Vardhamana), the 24th Jain Tirthankara. He was a Kshatriya King from the Ikshvaku dynasty[2] and the ruler of the Nata, Ainwar (Light), Gyat or Jnatri clan in Kshatriya Kundagrama, a suburb of Vaishali. He was married to Licchavi princess Trishala (sister of King Chetaka of Vaishali).[1]

The parents of Tirthankaras and their mothers in particular are worshipped among Jains and are frequently depicted in paintings and sculpture.[3] According to the second chapter of the Shvetambara Acharanga Sutra, King Siddhartha and his family were devotees of Parshvanatha.[4][5]After his death, Nandivardhana became the king of the dynasty.

King Siddhartha and Queen Trishala died by observing Santhara (fast unto death) when Vardhamana was 28 years of age.[6][7] Following his parents' demise, Vardhamana decided to take permission from his uncle Suparshva[8] and elder brother Nandivardhana, who dissuaded him from renouncing worldly life for two more years because he was unable to bear the loss of his parents as well as his brother, Vardhamana.[9][7]
