Important notes for Paushadh
- Keep everything simple, clean, and preferably white.
- Avoid leather, silk, flashy designs, perfumes, or ornaments.
- Keep items used for Dharma separate from daily-use items.
- Traditions differ: Shvetambar (especially Sthanakvasi/Terapanthi) commonly use muhpatti and charovla; many Digambar followers may not use these. Follow your Guru/Upadhyaya’s guidance.
