In Jainism, stree abhishek is not universally forbidden. It depends on the tradition, temple maryada, and local rule.

Simple answer

• Spiritual point of view: A woman can certainly have bhakti, shraddha, and purity of bhav. Jain dharma does not deny devotion by gender.
• Practical ritual point of view: Some Digambar temples may restrict women from certain forms of abhishek or puja due to traditional temple discipline, maryada, and sect-specific customs.
• In many Shwetambar traditions, women commonly participate in puja, bhakti, and related rituals according to temple practice.

Why such differences?

Jain rituals are not only about intention; they also follow:

• sampradayik maryada
• temple customs
• rules of purity and discipline
• sect traditions

So the main reason is tradition and temple rule, not a denial of women’s spiritual worth.

Jain dharma’s core view

From the Jain perspective, moksha and spiritual progress depend on right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct, not on gender alone. Women are fully capable of spiritual advancement in Jain dharma.

Conclusion

So, stree abhishek may be allowed in some Jain traditions and temples, and restricted in others. The safest Jain answer is: it is tradition-dependent, not a universal doctrinal prohibition.
