    3 mudra while 18 abhishek with photo

    yesterday 5

    Answer

    During the 18 Abhishek of Bhagwan, the main mudras commonly referred to are:

    • Anjali Mudra – hands joined in devotion
    • Kalash Mudra – holding the kalash for Abhishek
    • Namaskar Mudra – respectful bowing posture

    However, I should clarify: I cannot provide or confirm photos unless they are from a clearly established Jain source. Also, the exact mudras and method can differ by Jain tradition, sangh, temple, or local practice.

    Explanation

    In 18 Abhishek, devotees perform sacred bathing of the Jina Pratima with deep purity, humility, and bhakti. The mudras are not merely hand positions; they express inner feelings such as:

    • Reverence toward Arihant Bhagwan
    • Purity of body, speech, and mind
    • Letting go of ego
    • Devotional surrender

    If your temple follows a specific 18 Abhishek Vidhi, it is best to learn the exact mudras from the temple pujari, guru bhagwant, or senior shravak/shravika of that tradition.

    Spiritual Understanding

    In Jain Dharma, Abhishek is not for pleasing Bhagwan in a worldly sense. Arihant Bhagwan is free from attachment and aversion. Abhishek is for the devotee’s own spiritual purification. The mudras help keep the body disciplined and the mind devotional.

    Takeaway

    The three mudras generally symbolize devotion, offering, and reverence. For accurate photos and exact practice, please follow the tradition of your Jain temple or guru.
