I accidentally touched the upper side of bidet which is used only for peeing can I go to temple and do aarti
Answer
Yes, you may go to the temple and do aarti after properly washing your hands and purifying yourself.
Explanation
In Jain Dharma, external cleanliness is important when going to the temple, doing darshan, puja, or aarti. Since you accidentally touched something connected with the toilet/bathroom area, you should:
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
- If you feel unclean, wash the touched area properly.
- Wear clean clothes if your clothes touched anything unclean.
- Keep your mind calm and respectful before entering the temple.
If only your hand touched the upper side accidentally and you washed properly, that is generally sufficient for temple visit and aarti.
Spiritual Understanding
Jain Dharma values both bahya shuddhi — outer cleanliness — and antar shuddhi — inner purity. Outer cleanliness helps create respect and discipline, while inner purity means going with humility, devotion, and awareness.
Takeaway
Wash properly, wear clean clothes, keep a pure feeling, and you can respectfully go to the temple and do aarti.
