The paper would aim at constituting the concept of Santhara dwindled with the ideologies of Jainism and explain the real meaning and technicalities associated with the ancient practice of Santhara. The paper would aim at highlighting the importance of Santhara in Jainism and would also discuss so as to what are the peculiar characters and conditions required for any person to practice Santhara. The researcher would make an attempt to dismantle the similarity drawn between suicide and Santhara and would differentiate between the two on the very fundamental questions and principles. Also, the paper would bring into its ambit the constitutional validity of Santhara and try proving it as an essential part of the religion of Jainism.
