Ghar mandir (home temple) setup in Jain dharma is simple and pure. Here are the basic guidelines:

• Location and direction: Choose a quiet, clean corner of your home. The usual advice is to place the mandir so you can face east or north while offering puja. If that isn’t possible, face any direction that keeps you mindful and respectful.

• Cleanliness and sanctity: Keep the area neat and dry. Do not place it on the floor with shoes or dirty items nearby. Use a clean altar or small shelf for the idols or images.

• Idols/images: Place the central idols or images on a small, clean platform or pedestal. Use a clean cloth or halo around the idols, and avoid placing other items directly on the same surface.

• Daily practice: Regularly offer pranam (bows), recite Navkar Mantra if you know it, light a small lamp or diya, and keep incense or flowers modestly as a sign of reverence.

• Respectful conduct: Speak softly near the mandir, and maintain a calm, devotional atmosphere. Do not use the space for meals or other non-puja activities.

• Digambar vs. Shwetambar nuances: The overall setup follows common Jain reverence for the idols and Navkar Mantra, but there can be small differences in which images are emphasized or how daily puja is performed in private spaces. If you’d like, I can explain any specific practice tied to Digambar or Shwetambar traditions.

If you tell me your room’s orientation or which tradition you follow (Digambar or Shwetambar) I can tailor these guidelines more precisely.
