Pankho puja doha
In Jainism, Pankho Puja is a symbolic ritual performed during the worship of Tirthankaras, especially as part of the Panch Kalyanak Pratishtha Mahotsav or temple consecration ceremonies. The pankho (fan) symbolizes the removal of ignorance and the coolness of right knowledge.
A Doha is a two-line poetic couplet, often used in devotional contexts. While there are no universally fixed traditional dohas specifically for Pankho Puja, Jain communities often recite or sing couplets praising the Tirthankaras or explaining the significance of the rituals.
Here is a commonly recited doha for Pankho Puja:
पंखा पूजा के समय दोहा:
शीतल करूँ चित्त को, पंखा करूँ परसार। ज्ञानदीप जगमगाए, मिटे अज्ञान अंधार।।
Transliteration:
Sheetal karoon chitt ko, pankha karoon parasar. Gyaan deep jagmagaaye, mite agyaan andhaar.
Translation:
I spread the fan to cool the mind, May the lamp of knowledge shine, removing the darkness of ignorance.
