Answer

In Jain tradition, clean and respectful clothes are expected for Snatra Vidhi / Snatra Puja.

They are not “compulsory” in the sense of a punishment-based rule, but proper clothes are part of the purity, respect, and maryada of the puja.

Explanation

During Snatra Vidhi, we worship the birth abhishek of Bhagwan Tirthankar. So the devotee should maintain:

• Clean body
• Clean clothes
• Respectful dressing
• Pure and focused mind

Usually, people wear simple, clean, traditional clothes. In many Jain temples, there may also be specific local rules, such as wearing fresh washed clothes or avoiding leather items.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, outer cleanliness supports inner bhav. Wearing clean clothes shows humility, reverence, and devotion toward Bhagwan.

The main purpose is not fashion or formality, but shuddhata — purity in body, speech, and mind.

Takeaway

For Snatra Vidhi Puja, wear clean, modest, respectful clothes according to temple maryada. If you are unsure, follow the guidance of your temple’s pujari, guru, or local sangh.
