In derasar, these are not decoration items or “props” – they are sacred upkaran (instruments of worship). I’ll explain each one simply:

---

1. Mirror (Āinō / Darpan)

What it is for:

• It is kept near the Mūrtis mainly for darshan and certain pujā rituals.
• It reminds us: “As clearly as I see my face in this mirror, I should try to see my own soul (ātma) clearly.”

How you should (and should not) use it:

• Generally, only the pujari / designated person uses it during formal pūjā.
• As a normal devotee:

- You may respectfully look in the mirror while keeping your mind in bhakti, remembering your ātma. - Do not treat it like a bathroom mirror (styling hair, etc.). - Do not roughly touch it, move it, or play with it.

If you want to use it for a specific ritual (e.g., learning proper pūjā), always ask the pujari first.

2. Fan (Pankhā / Chāmvar)

Often you see a decorative hand‑fan or yak‑tail / cloth fan near Bhagwān.

Meaning:

• It is a symbol of honor and seva to Bhagwān.
• Waving it is like saying: “You are my Lord; I serve You with full respect.”

How it is used:

• During some pūjās, ārti or special occasions, the pujari may gently wave the fan towards Bhagwān.
• In many derasars, only the pujari or person doing pūjā is allowed to use it.

What you should not do:

• Do not use it on yourself for cooling.
• Do not wave it for fun or as a toy.
• Do not take it away from its place without permission.

3. “Feather with handle” – Morchhal / Morchhadi or Rajoharan

There are usually two similar‑looking things:

(a) Morchhal / Morchhadi (peacock‑feather whisk)

• Made from peacock feathers and a handle.
• Held and waved as a fly‑whisk near Bhagwān or near sādhus / sādhvīs.
• Symbolises:

- Respect and royal honor to Tirthankaras and saints. - Keeping the space around them clean and calm.

Use:

• Again, used only during ritual, usually by:

- Pujari in front of Bhagwān. - Sevaks near sādhus/sādhvīs.

• As a general devotee, you should not wave it casually or use it on yourself.

---

(b) Rajoharan (white woolen whisk)

Sometimes what you see is a white, soft, brush‑like whisk (not peacock), called rajoharan / rajoharanu.

• This is mainly used by sādhus and sādhvīs to:

- Gently sweep the place before they sit or walk, - Avoid harming tiny living beings (ahimsā).

• In some temples, a similar looking upkaran may be placed near Bhagwān as a symbol of purity and ahimsā.

Very important:

• Rajoharan is not for laypeople (śrāvaks/śrāvikās) to use on their own.
• It is a sign of sadhu‑bhāv and is used with great care and awareness of ahimsā.

Simple Etiquette Summary

When you see mirror, fan, morchhadi, rajoharan in derasar:

1. See them as sacred, not decorative toys.
2. If you are not sure, do not touch or use them on your own.
3. Use them only if:

- You are doing pūjā in the proper traditional way, and - The pujari or temple in‑charge has guided/allowed you.

1. Always keep mind in bhakti, remembering:

- Mirror → “Know your ātma.” - Fan / morchhadi → “Offer honor and seva to Bhagwān.” - Rajoharan → “Practice ahimsā, even to the smallest jīva.”

If you tell me which sampradāy (e.g., Shwetambar Murtipujak / Sthanakvasi / Digambar) your derasar is, I could map more exactly what you are seeing there.
