Answer

In Jain temples, Snatra Puja may be performed every day, especially in temples where there is a regular tradition and availability of devotees or pujari.

However, it is not compulsory for every temple to perform Snatra Puja daily. The practice depends on:

• The temple tradition
• The local Jain sangh’s arrangement
• Availability of a knowledgeable pujari or devotee
• The specific maryada followed in that temple

Explanation

Snatra Puja is a devotional puja connected with the birth celebration of a Tirthankar, especially the auspicious bathing ceremony performed by celestial beings at Mount Meru.

In many Jain temples, daily puja includes:

• Darshan
• Chaitya Vandana
• Ashta Prakari Puja
• Snatra Puja, where traditionally practiced

If Snatra Puja is performed daily, it should be done with:

• Cleanliness
• Devotion
• Correct vidhi
• Respect for temple rules
• Guidance from the local sangh, pujari, or learned person

Spiritual Understanding

The purpose of Snatra Puja is not merely ritual performance. It helps devotees remember the greatness, purity, and birth kalyanak of the Tirthankar. It inspires inner purification, humility, and devotion.

Takeaway

Snatra Puja can be performed daily in the temple if it is the accepted tradition of that temple and is done properly. For exact timing and responsibility, one should follow the guidance of the local Jain sangh or temple maryada.
