After how many days you can go to temple in periods

In Jainism there is no single fixed number of days mentioned in scriptures after which you “must” or “may” go to temple during periods. It mainly depends on:

• your sect/tradition (Digambar / Shwetambar)
• your local temple’s rules (maryādā)
• your family’s practice

General Jain practice

1. During the bleeding days (period going on):

• Many families consider this a time of temporary ritual ashaucha (non‑purity) for certain temple activities.
• Common advice:

- Avoid: going very near the main idol for dravya‑pūjā, doing abhiṣek, touching murtis, handling snātra items, ārtī tray, etc. - Allowed/encouraged: - mental prayers (bhāva‑pūjā) - listening to pravachan - doing svādhyāy (study) at home - chanting Navkār Mantra mentally

2. After periods stop:

• When bleeding has fully stopped, you:

1. Take a good bath (snān) 2. Wear clean fresh clothes

• After that, you may start normal temple worship again as per your sect and local rules.

So practically, for many girls/women it becomes:

• If your period lasts 3–5 days, you go to temple after it is over and you have bathed, not after some extra fixed number like 7, 11, 12, 41 days, etc.
• Some families keep a strict “4 days rest” type rule; others follow only “till bleeding stops”.

Difference by tradition (short summary)

• Digambar: usually stricter – many follow:

- Don’t enter temple premises or do dravya‑pūjā while bleeding. - Do only mental bhakti and listening from outside / at home. - Resume normal temple activities after period ends and bath.

• Shwetambar: usually more flexible – in many sanghs:

- Women do enter temple even on periods, but may avoid: - abhiṣek - direct touching of idol - Some follow family/local customs more strictly, some very lightly.

So, for your question:

> “After how many days you can go to temple in periods?”

In Jain view, it is not about counting days, it is about:

1. While bleeding – reduce or avoid physical temple rituals as per your temple’s rules.
2. After bleeding stops + snān + clean clothes – you can go for normal temple worship.

To be safe and respectful:

• Ask your own derasar/temple what maryādā they follow.
• Follow that, and also take care of your health and rest during periods.
