In Jain dharma there is no strict scriptural rule like “do not go to temple for 1 month / 1 year” after someone’s death. What we follow is mainly sāmpradāyik ācār (community custom).

1. General Jain practice

Most Jain families (both Śvetāmbara and Digambara) follow this simple rule:

• If you are a very close family member, and especially if you handled the body (lifting, preparing, cremation etc.):

- Do not do mūrti‑pūjā or go onto the vedi (gabhāro) for about 3 days after the death. - After cremation and the main kriyā, you: - Take a full bath - Wear clean, fresh clothes - Then you may quietly visit the temple and do darshan / Navkār, if your local tradition permits.

• If you are not directly involved with the body (for example a distant relative, friend, or just visited the house):

- Usually there is no strict bar from śāstra. - Still, many people avoid temple for 1–3 days out of respect and to stay focused on vairāgya and shānti.

2. Differences in customs

• Some Jain communities (especially in India) extend this to 8, 10, or 13 days, but this is local custom, not a clear Jain scriptural order.
• Both Śvetāmbara and Digambara broadly agree on:

- Keep the funeral simple and non‑violent. - Have a short mourning period. - After that, it is good to resume normal sādhanā like darshan, pratikraman, pāṭh etc.

3. Spiritual point of view

• The soul of the deceased moves on immediately according to its own karma.
• Our inner purity (bhāva–śuddhi) is more important than counting exact days.
• During those first 3 days, instead of outer pūjā, it is good to:

- Chant Navkār Mantra at home - Do pratikraman / shānti pāṭh - Practice detachment and forgiveness All this is fully allowed and encouraged.

4. Simple guideline you can follow

If someone close has died in your family:

1. Till cremation + about 3 days:

- No going inside garbhagṛha / vedi for pūjā. - Focus on shānti, Navkār, and helping the family.

1. After 3 days (and a full bath, clean clothes):

- You may visit the temple, do darshan, sit quietly, and pray. - Follow any specific rule your local Jain saṅgh / guru suggests, as long as it does not go against basic Jain principles.
