Jain dharm me kisi ek din ya bhagwan ki nishchit pooja sabhi dinon ke liye nahi hoti. Jo mukhya baat hai:

• Jain log 24 Tirthankaron ki, ya specifically Mahavir ki, aadarsh prabhav ko yaad karte hain. Unki pooja/garva din-rituals ke roop me hoti hai, bhagwan ki pooja ke roop me nahi ki jaati jaise ki kuch dharmo me hota hai.
• Niyamit pooja ke tor par, Tirthankaron ki unche darshan (idol ke samne pratishtha), Namokar Mantra ki jap, samayik ( ek samay ki dhyan) jaise pratikriyaen aam tor par ki jaati hain.
• Vishesh tyohaar/udghosh (festival) ke din mahatva paate hain:

- Mahavir Jayanti: Mahavir ke janm din ki yaad me bhakti aur pooja hoti hai. - Paryushan Parva (Shwetambar aur Digambar dono ke liye pramukh) - Nirvana/Diwali sambandhi utsav (Shwetambar aur Digambar ke tithi mein thoda alag ho sakta hai, dono samay Mahavir ke jivan yatra se juda hota hai)

Digambar aur Shwetambar ki kuch vyavaharik dharna (vyakhya) alag ho sakti hain:

• Kai udveghon me dono sampraday alag tithi par Mahavir ki Nirvana ya janm ki yaad manate hain, isliye tithi ki ginti aur roop alag ho sakte hain.
• Dono milkar Tirthankaron ki yaad aur unke updesh ko maante hain, par bhakti ke kram ya puja ki roop-rachna me thodi bhinnata hoti hai.

Agar aap chahen, main aapke kisi vishesh tyohaar ya aapke sampraday (Digambar ya Shwetambar) ke hisaab se pooja ki puri vidhi, artha (artha) aur sahi tithi ke bare me spasht roop se batata/batati hoon.
