In a Jain mandir, chanvar is a ceremonial whisk or fan used as a sign of respect, reverence, and devotion toward the Tirthankar Bhagwan.

Meaning in Jain tradition

• It is offered during puja and darshan.
• The chanvar symbolizes honor to the Arihant/Tirthankar.
• It also reflects the भावना of vinay and bhakti.
• In some temples, it is waved gently near the murtiji as part of ritual service.

Jain spiritual view

In Jain Dharma, the chanvar is not for decoration alone. It is an act of seva and respect, performed with a pure mind and restrained conduct.

• why chanvar is used in Jain puja, or
• its significance in Digambar and Shwetambar tradition.
