Answer

“Beatu Varas” usually refers to Bestu Varas / Gujarati New Year. In 2026, it falls on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

For opening the Derasar, the best time is generally:

• Early morning after sunrise
• After completing proper cleanliness and preparation
• In time for Mangal Divo, Chaityavandan, Puja, and Darshan

A commonly followed practical time is around 6:00 AM to 7:30 AM, depending on local sunrise and your Derasar’s tradition.

Explanation

In Jain tradition, opening the Derasar is not usually based on one universal fixed clock time for every place. It depends on:

• Local sunrise time
• The Derasar’s established custom
• Availability of the pujari or volunteers
• Proper cleaning and respectful preparation before opening
• Local Sangh or temple committee decision

On Bestu Varas, many devotees come early for darshan, so Derasars are often opened earlier than usual.

Spiritual Understanding

The important point is not only the exact time, but the bhav with which the Derasar is opened. It should be done with purity, reverence, calmness, and devotion toward Arihant Bhagwan.

Takeaway

For Bestu Varas 2026, plan to open the Derasar early morning after sunrise, ideally around 6:00–7:30 AM, but confirm the final time with your local Sangh, temple tradition, or Jain calendar for your city.
