Bharata was the first chakravartin (universal emperor or possessor of chakra) of avasarpini (present half time cycle as per Jain cosmology). He was the eldest son of Rishabhanatha, the first tirthankara. He had two sons from his chief-queen Subhadra named Arkakirti and Marichi. He is said to have conquered all the six parts of the world and to have engaged in a fight with Bahubali, his brother, to conquer the last remaining city The ancient name of India was named "Bhāratavarsha" or "Bhārata" or "Bharata-bhumi" after him.

According to the Digambara sub-tradition of Jainism, in his later years, he renounced the world, led an ascetic life and attained kevalajnana (omniscience). According to the Svetambara Jains, he attained kevalgyana (omniscience) after which he renounce the world. He gained kevalgyana when he realised there is no beauty in our bodies and hence renounced the world being kevalgyani (omniscient) and then attained moksha.
