Shwetambar vidhi for podasham
Śvetāmbara Mūrtipūjak vidhi (Pooja vidhi) generally follows a fixed sequence, with small local variations (gaccha/maryādā) at temples. The exact term “podasham” isn’t a standard Jain ritual name in the Śvetāmbara tradition, so I’ll give a simple, traditional Śvetāmbara puja outline that many temples follow, which you can adapt to your local paddhati.
- Preparation
- Entering the derāśar/temple
- Chaityavandan (the main avashyak sequence)
- Additional elements (as per local practice)
- Concluding
Notes
- Śvetāmbara and Digambar traditions differ in some mantras, postures, and exact sequences. The above outlines a typical Śvetāmbara Mūrtipūjak approach; your temple may have slight local custom.
- If your question targets a very specific sub-ritual (e.g., a particular form of Chaityavandan or a unique “podasham” rite in a given gaccha), temples or local sadhus can provide the exact paddhati used in that place.

If you meant a different term or a specific paddhati by “podasham,” please share the exact name or temple/gaccha, and I’ll align the answer to that tradition.
