Jain mandir ki dhwaja (flag) ka mahatva mainly 3–4 baaton mein samajh sakte hain:

1. Param shuddh sthaan ka prateek

- Dhwaja upar lagti hai, isse bataya jata hai ki ye sthaan bahut pavitra hai – yahan Arihant–Siddh Bhagwan ki aradhana hoti hai. - Door se hi pata chal jata hai ki yahan derasar / tirth hai, jahan jaakar namaskar, puja, samayik kiya ja sakta hai.

1. Urdhva gati (upar ki taraf badhna)

- Dhwaja hamesha upar ki or rehti hai, hawa mein lehrati hai. - Ye yaad dilati hai ki atma ka asli lakshya bhi upar ki gati – moksh ki or badhna hai, sirf dharti ke sukh–dukh mein hi atakna nahi.

1. Vijay aur mangal ka nishan

- Jina Bhagwan ko “Vitraagi Vijayee” mana gaya hai – unhone krodh, maan, maya, lobh par vijay pa li. - Mandir ki dhwaja usi atma–vijay ka prateek hai, jaise keh rahi ho: “Yahan jinon ka shasan hai, yahan se ahimsa, satya, aparigrah ka sandesh phailta hai.”

1. Nityata ka smaran

- Murti andar sthir (shant), dhwaja bahar chalti hui (lehrati) – - Isse Sikh milti hai: bahar ki duniya hamesha badalti rahegi, lekin andar ki shuddh atma sthir hai. Hamein andar ki shanti ko pakadna hai.

1. Samudaay aur shraddha ka prateek

- Dhwaja–rohan (flag chadhana) aksar vishesh parv, pratishtha, gurupurnima, etc. par hota hai. - Isse log judte hain, daan, puja, swadhyay badhta hai – puri sangh ki shraddha aur ekta ka chihn ban jata hai.

Digambar–Shwetambar dono

• Dono paramparaon mein mandir par dhwaja ka rivaaj hai.
• Rang, aakar, likhawat (Jai Jinendra, Swastik, Om, etc.) mein fark ho sakta hai,

Saral bhasha mein: Mandir ki dhwaja hamein roz yaad dilati hai ki hamein bhi apni atma ko paap se upar uthakar, Jina Bhagwan jaise shant, vitarag aur pavitra banana hai.
