Answer
During Das Lakshan Parva, Jains usually perform daily worship connected with the ten supreme virtues and devotion to the Tirthankars.
Common daily pooja includes:
- Dev-Shastra-Guru Pooja
- Tirthankar Bhagwan Pooja
- Das Lakshan Dharma Pooja
- Chaudah Vidhan / Mandal Vidhan where traditionally followed
- Pratikraman, Swadhyay, and Samayik
Daily Focus of Das Lakshan
Each day is dedicated to one Dharma:
- Day 1: Uttam Kshama — Supreme Forgiveness
- Day 2: Uttam Mardav — Supreme Humility
- Day 3: Uttam Arjav — Supreme Straightforwardness
- Day 4: Uttam Shauch — Supreme Purity / Contentment
- Day 5: Uttam Satya — Supreme Truthfulness
- Day 6: Uttam Sanyam — Supreme Self-restraint
- Day 7: Uttam Tap — Supreme Austerity
- Day 8: Uttam Tyag — Supreme Renunciation
- Day 9: Uttam Akinchanya — Supreme Non-attachment
- Day 10: Uttam Brahmacharya — Supreme Celibacy / Chastity
Takeaway
There is not only one fixed pooja for everyone. The main daily practice is to worship Bhagwan with purity and reflect deeply on that day’s Uttam Dharma. Different Digambar Jain communities may follow slightly different pooja or vidhan traditions.
