Answer

In Jain tradition, it is generally best not to keep Hindu idols, kuldevi photos, or other non-Jain statues together with Simandhar Swami Bhagwan on the same altar.

Explanation

A Jain puja place is ideally kept pure, simple, and focused only on the Jain Tirthankar. Simandhar Swami Bhagwan should be placed in a separate, respectful space.

If your family worships a kuldevi or other devata/devi for traditional reasons, then it is better to:

• keep them in a separate place
• not place them on the same asan, shelf, or mandir
• maintain the Jain altar as distinct

This keeps the devotional setting clean and in accordance with Jain discipline.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, the shrine is a place of ekagrata, vitarag bhakti, and inner purity. Keeping only Jain murtis or images in the Jain mandir helps the mind stay focused on:

• Arihants and Tirthankars
• detachment
• right faith
• inner peace

Separating different forms of worship preserves clarity and reverence.

Takeaway

Best practice: keep Simandhar Swami Bhagwan separate from Hindu idols or kuldevi photos/statues. If you want, you can keep them in different spaces with full respect to both traditions.
