is stree abhishek allowed?
In Jain Dharma, “stree abhishek” is not universally treated the same in all traditions.
- From the Jain principle of devotion, women can certainly do bhakti, puja, darshan, pratikraman, samayik, and other religious practices.
- Whether abhishek is allowed depends on the temple tradition and local maryada:
- So, the correct Jain answer is: it is tradition-dependent, not a universal yes or no.
If you mean a woman doing abhishek at a specific Jain temple, the final rule should follow that temple’s Agam-based maryada and local Jain sangh tradition.
