Answer

Yes, Beshanu can be done on a bajot, if it is done respectfully and according to the family’s Jain tradition.

In many Jain homes, a bajot is used for religious or respectful seating arrangements. However, customs may vary by family, gaccha, sampraday, and local tradition.

Explanation

For Beshanu, the main focus is:

• Maintaining a peaceful and respectful atmosphere
• Remembering the departed soul with equanimity
• Observing simplicity and dignity
• Following the guidance of elders or the local Jain sangh if needed

If your family traditionally uses a chair, floor seating, white cloth, or bajot, it is best to follow that established custom.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, after someone passes away, the emphasis is not on display or ritual formality, but on:

• Samata — equanimity
• Prarthana — peaceful prayer
• Bhavna — noble reflection for the soul’s spiritual journey
• Detachment — accepting the nature of worldly life

Takeaway

Yes, Beshanu may be done on a bajot, as long as it is done with simplicity, respect, and in line with your family or sangh tradition.
