In Jain tradition, during periods many women avoid Pooja, temple darshan, and touching idols or ritual items as a matter of shuddhi, respect, and personal discipline. After periods, Pooja can be done once the body is clean and after bathing.

Simple rule:

• Take a bath
• Wear clean clothes
• Then you may do Pooja, darshan, and jap

In many Jain families, this is followed after the menstrual period ends and cleansing is completed. Some traditions are stricter or more flexible, but the basic principle is purity and reverence in ritual practice.
