Answer

In many Digambar Jain temples, women do not perform the direct abhishek of the main idol. This ritual is usually done by men or by the temple priest, depending on local custom and temple rules.

Explanation

Abhishek means bathing the idol with water, milk, sandal, or other sacred materials as part of worship. In Digambar tradition, the practice around temple rituals can be strict, and the exact rule may differ from temple to temple.

So the correct way to say it is:

• Commonly: women do not do abhishek of the main Digambar idol
• But: practices can vary by place, community, and temple tradition
• Women can still: do darshan, devotion, prayers, stavan, and other forms of worship

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, the essence is not only ritual action, but also bhakti, purity, and inner devotion. If a temple has a specific rule, it should be respected with humility and श्रद्धा.

Takeaway

So, generally in Digambar tradition, women do not perform abhishek of the main idol, but the exact practice may vary by temple. The most important thing is to follow the temple’s tradition respectfully.
