Can i keep neminath bhagwan idol and rajul mata as kul devi in home together in one puja place?
Answer
Yes, you may keep them in the same home, but it is better to keep Bhagwan Neminath’s idol as the main and highest place of worship, and keep Rajul Mata separately or in a distinct section of the puja area, if your family tradition allows it.Explanation
In Jain tradition, the Tirthankar idol should be treated with the highest reverence and placed in a clean, dignified, and central position.If you keep Rajul Mata in the home:
- Keep her in a separate respectful place
- Do not place her in a way that makes the Tirthankar idol look secondary
- Maintain proper cleanliness and devotion
- Follow your sampraday and family tradition
Spiritual Understanding
In Jain Dharma, the Tirthankar is the supreme focus of puja and contemplation. Rajul Mata is respected in the Jain tradition, but the main puja space should remain centered on Bhagwan.So the safest and most respectful approach is:
- Neminath Bhagwan in the main puja sthaan
- Rajul Mata in a separate, respectful place nearby, if your tradition follows that practice
