Answer

In a Jain derasar, we should not casually touch the cheeks or face of Bhagwan’s idol.

Jain tradition teaches that the murti of Tirthankar Bhagwan should be treated with deep reverence, purity, and discipline. Touching is generally done only as part of proper puja or seva, according to the rules of that derasar and under guidance.

Explanation

If you mean “cheeks” of God’s idol, then:

• Do not touch the idol casually or playfully.
• Do not touch with unwashed hands.
• During puja, only touch where and how the tradition allows.
• Many derasars have specific rules about who may touch the murti and when.

If you are unsure, it is best to ask the pujari, trustee, or elder at that derasar.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, Tirthankar Bhagwan is worshipped as a symbol of pure soul, perfect knowledge, and liberation. Respectful conduct in the derasar helps us develop vinay — humility, reverence, and purity of mind.

Takeaway

You should avoid touching Bhagwan’s cheeks/face casually in the derasar. Follow the derasar’s rules and worship with devotion, purity, and respect.
