Here is a simple, tradition‑aware checklist for Paushadh (Posadh/Poshad) so you can keep ahimsa, saiyam and shuddhi with care.

Common essentials for all shravaks/shravikas

• Clean, simple white clothing (paushadh‑vastra); extra set if staying at upashray/mandir.
• Asan: clean wool/cotton mat for sitting in samayik; small white sheet/chadar.
• Boiled/filtered water in a covered steel bottle or lota, and a clean glass.
• Pratikraman text (as per time: devasi/rayansi or pakkhi), Samayik sutras, Navkar mantra booklet; optional small mala (navkarvali) for japa.
• Svadhyay material: small scripture/book and a pen‑notebook for notes.
• Basic personal cloth items: handkerchief, small towel; cotton cloth bag (no leather).
• Prescribed medicines (only what you must take).
• Simple satvik Jain food if you are not fasting (plan for ekasan/biyasana as per your pachchakkhan); avoid after‑sunset eating and avoid green‑leafy/root vegetables as per your maryada.
• Personal hygiene prepared before Paushadh day (e.g., nail cutting done the previous day).

Tradition‑specific items and cautions

• Shvetambar Murtipujak:

- Muhpatti (clean, folded) to cover the mouth during sutra‑paath/samayik. - Sthapana: small idol/photo of Arihant or Siddhachakra on a clean asan if done at home; follow your mandir’s rules if in the temple. - Do not carry or use a rajoharan (sadhu‑upkaran); if needed, gently clear the sitting area with a soft clean cloth only.

• Shvetambar Sthanakvasi/Terapanthi:

- Muhpatti (mandatory). - Sthapana is of scriptures/Navkar‑yantra only (no idol). - Use a soft cloth to gently clear the sitting place; do not use rajoharan.

• Digambar:

- No muhpatti is used in lay conduct. - Simple white clothing, clean asan, scriptures (e.g., pratikraman paddhati, śrāvaka‑dharma granth). - Do not use muni‑upkaran like picchi or kamandalu; keep boiled water in a simple covered vessel.

Optional but helpful

• Light shawl or upper cloth if staying long in the upashray.
• Spare cotton mask/cloth for cleanliness (as per your maryada).
• Small, plain cloth pouch to keep muhpatti or mala clean.
• Alarm/watch set before you begin; keep phone switched off and away.

What to avoid carrying/using

• Leather, silk, flashy ornaments, cosmetics, strong scents or deodorants.
• Electronics/phone use, entertainment items, reading unrelated to dharma.
• Open water vessels; uncovered food; sharp tools (nail cutters, etc.) on the Paushadh day.

Simple day flow reminder

• Take Paushadh pachchakkhan from Guru/at upashray or with sankalp at home.
• Keep maun/aletā‑chit where possible; do samayik, svadhyay, pratikraman, prarthana, japa of Navkar Mantra.
• Drink only boiled/filtered water within permitted times; maintain vigilant ahimsa in movement and speech.
• Close Paushadh respectfully as per tradition, seeking kshamapna for any faults.

If your local sangh has a set maryada, please follow that exactly; the above is a safe, conservative list aligned with Jain lay conduct across traditions.
