    In Shwetambar, Can we offer a Black Flower to Bhagwan when we do daily pooja at Derasar or Mandir?

    4 months ago 89

    In Shwetambar Murtipujak tradition, black flowers should not be offered to Bhagwan in daily pooja at Derasar/Mandir.

    Reason:

    • Black color is generally considered inauspicious and not suitable for puja.
    • Offering to Bhagwan should be done with clean, fresh, beautiful, and pure items.
    • Wilted, broken, dusty, or dark/black flowers are also avoided because they do not reflect shuddhi and bhakti.

    Better practice:

    • Offer only fresh, fragrant, and clean flowers if your local tradition permits flowers in pooja.
    • If flowers are not traditionally used in your Derasar, follow the local aacharya/guruparampara and temple custom.

    So the simple answer is: No, black flower should not be offered in daily pooja.
