Jal Puja (Water Puja) is the first of the eight offerings in the Ashta Prakari Puja used in Jain temple worship.

• Meaning (arth): Water symbolizes purification of the soul. It reminds the devotee to wash away karmic impurities and to cultivate equanimity, truthfulness, love, and compassion. Through this cleansing, one aims to move toward liberation. This is the core idea taught in Jain explanations of Jal Puja. Different Jain traditions may phrase the accompanying doha (couplets) a little differently, but the essential symbol remains the same. You’ll find the standard explanation in Jain worship materials that list the eight dravyas of Ashta Prakari Puja. ( jainknowledge.com)

• Short guidance: When doing Jal Puja, devotees typically pour pure water over the image or symbol of the Tirthankara and reflect on cleansing the heart of karmic impurities.

• Note on tradition: The meaning of Jal Puja is consistent across Digambar and Shvetambar practices, though the exact dohas or phrasing of the accompanying verses may vary between those traditions.
