Which day of week is associated with which jain gos
In Jain Dharma, days of the week are not officially fixed for any particular “Jain gods” in our scriptures.
- No scriptural rule
- In the Agams and main Jain texts, there is no system like: “Monday = this Tirthankar, Tuesday = that dev,” etc. - Any Tirthankar or Panch Parmeshti can be worshipped on any day.
- What actually happens in practice
- In many Jain families and derasars, people personally choose one Tirthankar or dev-devi for a certain day (for puja, jaap, upvaas, etc.). - These choices are usually local custom or family tradition, not a universal Jain rule. - Because they are local customs, the list of “Monday = X, Tuesday = Y …” can change from city to city or even from one sangh to another.
- Important Jain view
- Jain Dharma mainly teaches us to focus on: - Panch Parmeshti (Arihant, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyay, Sādhu) - 24 Tirthankars - The real aim is right faith, right knowledge, right conduct – not planetary or weekday-based worship.
So, strictly speaking:
- No fixed, pan-Jain list exists in authentic Jain shastra.
- Any such weekday–dev list you see is just a devotional habit, not a Jain doctrinal requirement.
