In Jainism, the concept of a "priest" as seen in some other religions does not strictly exist. Instead, temple rituals and activities are generally performed by temple caretakers (pujaris), scholars, or sometimes lay devotees, rather than an exclusive priestly class. The term "Palithaa Mandir" refers to a Jain temple that houses the palithaa (a sacred stone or symbolic representation of the Tirthankara or a revered saint).

The daily schedule in a Jain temple (including Palithaa Mandir) typically follows certain rituals and practices, and may include the following activities:

1. Early Morning Rituals:

• Snatra Puja or Abhishek: Early in the morning, the idol or palithaa is bathed (jal-abhishek) and cleaned with water and sometimes with other substances like milk, sandalwood, and flowers.
• Mangal Aarti: A devotional lamp ceremony is performed to invoke auspiciousness.

2. Shanti Kalash or Shantidhara:

• Some temples perform Shantidhara, where water is poured over the idol while chanting sacred mantras.

3. Puja and Aradhana:

• Dev Shastra Guru Puja: Offerings are made to the idol, Jain scriptures, and revered teachers.
• Ashta Prakari Puja: This is a traditional worship using eight substances (water, sandalwood, flowers, rice, etc.).
• Stavan and Bhajan: Singing of devotional hymns.

4. Pravachan (Discourse):

• In some temples, a learned scholar or monk may give a discourse on Jain scriptures.

5. Midday and Afternoon:

• The temple is generally open for devotees for darshan (viewing the idol).
• Cleanliness of the temple is maintained.

6. Evening Rituals:

• Aarti and Mangal Divo: Evening lamp ceremony and prayers.
• Recitation of Jain Prayers: Such as Navkar Mantra, Kshamapana, or other prayers.

7. Closing the Temple:

• The idol or palithaa is cleaned again, and the sanctum is closed with respect and prayers.

Lifestyle and Conduct:

• The pujari or caretaker follows strict Jain dietary and conduct codes, such as avoiding violence (ahimsa), practicing cleanliness, and observing vows of truthfulness and non-attachment.
• On auspicious days (like Paryushan, Mahavir Jayanti), special rituals and gatherings may take place.

Note: The exact schedule may vary based on the sect (Shwetambar, Digambar), local customs, and temple traditions.

Summary: The daily schedule revolves around ritual worship, cleanliness, recitation of scriptures, and maintaining an atmosphere of devotion and non-violence in keeping with Jain principles. There is a strong emphasis on purity, non-violence, and respect for the Tirthankaras and Jain teachings.
