specify modest dress norms for shravakas (with referenses)
111
Here are modest dress norms for shravakas (householders) with Jain‑based guidance:
- General principle: wear clean, simple, loose cotton clothes. Prefer plain white or very sober colors. Avoid leather, silk, wool, fur, and flashy designs. Remove shoes, belts with leather, watches, heavy jewelry, and perfume when engaging in dharma practices. Keep a muhapatti (mouth-covering cloth) handy and carry a small asan (cloth mat) for sitting. These guidelines cover daily practice and rituals like pratikraman and samayik. ( jainknowledge.com)
