    If die father's sister and eat at time behsana not their home but hall then how many day not do pooja in deravasi

    I’ll answer in simple Deravasi (Shwetambar murtipujak) view.

    1. According to pure Jain Dharma

    - There is no real “sutak / ashoch” for puja. - Even if your father’s sister (bua / phoi) has died, you can do dharmakriya (Navkar, chaityavandan, samayik, etc.) and even go to derasar. - Death of someone else does not make your atma impure.

    1. According to common Deravasi maryada

    - For very close family in same house (mother, father, husband, wife, own children, real brother/sister living together), many follow: - No murti‑puja, abhishek, aarti, going in garbhagruh for about 3 days. - For other relatives (like father’s sister) where you do besana in a hall, not their home and not your home: - In many sanghs, people only keep niyam till that besana day. - From next day, they start normal derasar puja again.

    1. So in your case (father’s sister, besana in hall):

    - From Jain dharma side – you may do puja immediately, even that day. - From maryada side – most Deravasi will allow full puja from the next day after besana, because: - She was not in your own house, and - You did not stay in that house, only went to a hall for besana.

    1. What is best to do

    - If your local derasar or guru has a written / spoken rule, follow that first. - If there is no clear rule, it is safe and respectful to: - Keep that one day simple (more bhav‑bhakti, Navkar, prarthna). - From the next morning, start normal derasar puja.
