Nav Ang Puja (Nave Ang Puja) is a Jain devotional practice in which devotees offer reverence to the Tirthankar by paying homage to nine limbs/parts of the body (ang). It is performed after a prayer like the Navkar mantra and includes lines of dharma, prayers, and offerings to reminder humility and virtuous conduct on the path to Moksha. The exact sequence and which limbs are included can differ between Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions and from temple to temple.

Key points:

• Purpose: cultivate humility, self-control, and detachment as part of spiritual practice.
• Practice: involves Namaskār, purification, stavan (praising hymns), chintan (contemplation), and often a short arghya or offerings; the nine limbs are honored in a prescribed order that can vary by tradition.
• Traditions: Digambar and Śvetāmbara have slightly different versions of the nav ang sequence; a precise version can be given for a particular tradition or derasar.
