Padmāvatī is the protective goddess or shashan devi of Lord Parshvanatha, twenty-third Jain tirthankara complimenting parshwa yaksha, the sashan dev. there ia another pair of souls of a nag and nagin which was saved by lord while being burnt alive in a log of wood by the tapas kamath, who became indra( dharnendra in particular)and padmavati( different from sashan devi) after their death. According to the tradition, Padmavati and her husband Dharanendra protected Lord Parshvanatha when he was harassed by Meghmali. Svetambara tradition, however, does not list Padmavati among the main queens of Dharnendra. A snakes hood covers her head, and she sits on a lotus flower. Often a small image of the Lord Parshvanatha is placed in her crown.
Padmâvatî is an opera in two acts by the French composer Albert Roussel. The libretto, by Louis Laloy, is based on Théodore-Marie Pavie's La légende de Padmanî, reine de Tchitor, which retells the legend recounted in Malik Muhammad Jayasi's poem Padmavat (1540). It was first performed at the Paris Opéra on June 1, 1923. Roussel styled the work an opéra-ballet and there are many dance numbers and opportunities for spectacle. The composer was inspired by his visit to the ruined city of Chittor in Rajputana (now Rajasthan) and he incorporated many features of Indian music into the score.
