These are all different parts of Jin‑puja (worship of Bhagwan in Jain Derasar). I’ll explain each in very simple words and also its inner (bhāv) meaning.

---

1. Dhup Puja (धूप पूजा – incense)

What we do: We offer burning incense (dhoop) in front of the idol.

Inner meaning:

• Dhoop burns itself but spreads fragrance for others.
• It reminds us of the sadhu/sadhvi life – they sacrifice their comforts and spend their life for the spiritual good of all.
• While doing dhup puja we pray:

“May my mithyātva (wrong belief) and bad thoughts burn away, and may my life become useful for others like this fragrance.”

2. Deepak Puja (दीपक पूजा – lamp)

What we do: We light a lamp (diya) and offer it before the idol.

Inner meaning:

• The flame of deepak symbolizes the pure soul, completely free from karma – a Siddha Bhagwan.
• Darkness = ignorance and delusion.
• Light = samyak darshan – samyak jñān – samyak chāritra (right faith, right knowledge, right conduct).
• We pray:

“May the darkness of ignorance inside me go away, and may my inner ‘jñān‑jyoti’ (light of knowledge) always remain bright.”

3. Darpan Puja (दर्पण पूजा – mirror)

What we do: We see the idol of Bhagwan in a mirror (darpan) after puja.

Inner meaning:

• Normally, we use a mirror to see our own face.
• In darpan puja we see the image of Vītarāg Bhagwan (totally free from attachment and aversion).
• It teaches:

- “My true self (ātmā) should become like this – pure, peaceful, without anger, pride, deceit, greed.”

• The aim is to turn our attention from body to soul, and to keep the ideal of vītarāgata (non‑attachment) in front of us.

4. Pankha Puja (पंखा पूजा – fan)

What we do: We gently wave a fan (pankha) in front of Bhagwan.

Inner meaning:

• In stories, Indra and devas serve Tirthankars with pankha, etc.
• We are not “cooling” Bhagwan; He is beyond heat and cold.
• Pankha puja is a symbol of sevā and vinay (service and deep respect).
• It reminds us:

- “My ego should become light and cool, like the cool air of this pankha. I should happily serve saints, Jinmandir and all jīv with humility.”

5. Chāmar Puja (चामर पूजा – whisk)

What we do: We move a white whisk (chāmar) near the idol, sometimes with a gentle “chāmar nrutya”.

Inner meaning:

• In Devlok, devas wave chāmar to honor Bhagwan.
• Chāmar is a royal respect symbol – showing Bhagwan as Sarva‑uttam (highest of all).
• Spiritually it means:

- “I remove (whisk away) my kashāy – anger, ego, deceit, greed – and keep only bhakti and vinay in my heart.”

• It also shows that true royalty = spiritual greatness, not wealth and power.

Common to all these pujas

• All these are dravya puja (with materials), but their real value is in bhāv puja (inner feelings).
• If we do dhup, deepak, darpan, pankha, chāmar puja with understanding, they help us:

- purify thoughts, - increase devotion, - and slowly move towards the ideal of Arihant–Siddha Bhagwan.

Both Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions accept these as symbolic acts of Jin‑bhakti; wordings and style may differ, but inner meaning is the same – to remember the gun (qualities) of Bhagwan and to become like Him.
