Answer

In Sthanakvasi Jain tradition, Arihant Vandanavali is generally recited as a devotional stuti/vandana to Arihant Bhagwan. There is no single universally fixed compulsory time for all Sthanakvasi Jains.

It is commonly recited:

• In the morning, after waking, cleaning, and doing daily religious practice
• During Samayik or other devotional time
• In the evening, along with prayers, reflection, or Pratikraman-related devotion

Explanation

Sthanakvasi Jain practice gives great importance to inner purity, right faith, and mindful devotion. Therefore, Arihant Vandanavali may be recited when the mind is calm, body is clean, and one can do it with proper bhav.

If your local guru bhagwant, sadhviji, or sangh follows a specific timing or sequence, you should follow that tradition.

Spiritual Understanding

The purpose of Arihant Vandanavali is to bow with devotion to Arihant Bhagwan, remember their infinite virtues, and awaken humility, faith, and spiritual aspiration within oneself.

Takeaway

For Sthanakvasi Jains, the best time is usually morning or during Samayik, but the most important thing is shraddha, purity, and attentive recitation.
