| Research Abstract |
In this research we found out that the cosmology in Jainism developed gradually from the canonical period through 13^<th> century and its concept as we know now must have appeared in the time. We also found out that the idea of cosmic person, which is peculiar to the Jainism, is mentioned in the post canonical literature but its detail description is available only in the later texts. For the development of cosmology in Jainism the minor sect contributed more than the major one. Our research also shows that depiction of the cosmos comes out later period.
