    Which deity should be worshipped on which particular day

    10 months ago 237

    In Jainism, any Tirthankar or true Deva can be worshipped on any day. There is no scriptural rule that a particular weekday must be for a particular deity.

    However, in popular Jain practice, many families follow this simple pattern (mainly for Tirthankar bhakti):

    • Sunday – Shri Rishabhdev (Adinath), 1st Tirthankar
    • Monday – Shri Ajitnath, 2nd Tirthankar
    • Tuesday – Shri Sambhavnath, 3rd Tirthankar
    • Wednesday – Shri Abhinandan Swami, 4th Tirthankar
    • Thursday – Shri Sumatinath, 5th Tirthankar
    • Friday – Shri Padmaprabhu, 6th Tirthankar
    • Saturday – Shri Suparshvanath, 7th Tirthankar

    Important points:

    • This is a devotional / traditional practice, not an order from Agam or main scriptures.
    • Traditions may vary by region and sect (Śvetāmbara / Digambara).
    • From Jain view, what really matters is:
    - Right faith (samyak darshan) - Right knowledge (samyak jnān) - Right conduct (samyak chāritra) more than which deity you choose on which weekday.
