Samavasarana (or Samosharana) is a Jain term for the divine preaching hall or the assembly of the Tirthankar after attaining perfect knowledge, or kevalgnan. It also refers to the hall in which the speech is given. The assembly is termed samosharna because it offers refuge (sharana) to all (samo) living beings equally. The theme of Samavasaranas has been a popular one in Jain art.
