Answer

In Digamber Jain temples, there is generally no single mandatory scriptural “design” for a chanvar prescribed for all temples.

A chanvar is traditionally used as a symbol of reverence and royal honor offered to the Jina. Its form may vary by region, temple tradition, and local custom.

Explanation

Commonly, a chanvar used in Digamber Jain worship may have:

• A handle, often made of wood, silver, or another clean and respectful material.
• White or light-colored whisk-like fibers, traditionally associated with purity.
• A simple, graceful design suitable for temple worship.
• Cleanliness and dignity as the main requirement.

In some Digamber temples, chanvars may be ornate, especially during special puja, pratishtha, or festival occasions. In simpler temples, they may be plain and modest.

Spiritual Understanding

The purpose of the chanvar is not decoration alone. It represents vinay—humble reverence toward the Arihant Bhagwan. Since the Jina is free from attachment and desire, the act is devotional from the worshipper’s side, not because the Jina needs service.

Takeaway

There is no universal fixed design required for a chanvar in Digamber Jain temples. It should be clean, respectful, simple or dignified, and used with devotion according to accepted temple tradition.
