Gautam Swami was the Ganadhara (chief disciple) of Mahavira,  the 24th and last Jain Tirthankara. In Jain traditional accounts, Gautama is believed to have gained Kevala Jnana (omniscience) immediately after the moksha (liberation) of Mahavira. Gautama is connected with prosperity as he fed some monks using his magical powers.
