[[File:Lord Risbabhdev in Samosharan on Mount Kailash.jpg|thumb|right|Samosharana of Tirthankara [[Rishabha]] ([[Ajmer Jain temple]])]]
In samavasarana hall, the ''tirthankara'' sits on a throne without touching it (about two inches above it).{{sfn|Jain|2008|p=95}} Around the tirthankara sit the ''[[ganadhara]]s'' (chief disciples). Living beings sit in the following order:{{sfn|Jain|2008|p=96}}
*In the first hall, [[Jain monasticism|ascetics]]
*In the second hall, one class of [[Deva (Jainism)|deva]] ladies
*In the third hall, ''[[aryika]]s'' (nuns) and laywomen
*In the next three halls, three other classes of deva ladies
*In the next four halls, the four classes of devas (heavenly beings)
*Men, in the eleventh hall
*Animals, in the last hall

According to Jain texts, there would be four wide roads with four huge columns, [[Manasthamba]] (literally, pride pillar), one in each side.{{sfn|Jain|2008|p=93}} The total size of the hall varies depending upon the height of the people in that era. The size of [[Rishabha]]deva's samavasarana was {{convert|12|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jainworld.com/JWFrench/jainworld/jainbooks/tirthankar/apendex-14.htm|title=APPENDIX 14|work=jainworld.com}}</ref>

In samavasarana, a tirthankara sits facing the east, but appears to be looking in all directions.{{sfn|Jain|2008|p=96}} Tirthankara sits on a soft cushion while preaching the [[Jain philosophy]] in plain terms.{{sfn|Jain|2008|p=98}} All [[human]]s and [[animal]]s can understand the discourse.
