    can we do dhoop and dipak puja at temple in night while aangi darshan

    2 hrs ago 2

    Answer

    In general Jain temple maryada, Dhoop Puja and Dipak Puja are usually not done at night, especially when Aangi Darshan is going on.

    During Aangi Darshan, the focus is on respectfully doing darshan of Bhagwan in the decorated form. One should avoid disturbing the Aangi, the temple arrangement, or the established maryada.

    Explanation

    In many Jain temples:

    • Ashta Prakari Puja is performed during the proper puja time, usually in the morning or daytime.
    • Dhoop and Dipak Puja involve fire, smoke, movement near the idol, and temple procedure, so they are generally done only according to temple rules.
    • At night, especially during Aangi Darshan, devotees usually do only darshan, stuti, stavans, chaityavandan, bhavna, or quiet prayer.

    However, the exact practice can differ by temple, sampraday, and local maryada.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Jain Dharma gives great importance to vinay and maryada. Even a good devotional act should be done at the proper time, in the proper way, and without disturbing the sanctity of Bhagwan’s darshan.

    Takeaway

    It is best to ask the temple pujari, trustee, or knowledgeable sangh member. If the temple maryada does not allow it at night, then during Aangi Darshan you may do peaceful darshan, stuti, or bhavna instead.
