    Here is your Paushadh kit in simple English, with easy alternatives if something is not available.

    • Charovla (Rajoharan/soft whisk)
    - Use: gently clear the sitting place to avoid harming tiny beings. - If not available: use a clean, soft cotton cloth to lightly wipe the area.
    • Muhpatti (mouth-cloth)
    - Use: covers the mouth to practice ahimsa and purity of speech/breath. - If not available: use a clean, new cotton handkerchief folded neatly.
    • Katāsan (small sitting mat)
    - Use: for clean, steady sitting during pratikraman and sadhana. - If not available: use a folded clean cotton cloth or a simple mat reserved only for Dharma use.
    • Dhoti (lower garment)
    - Use: simple, clean, preferably white cloth. - If not available: wear plain white pyjama/trousers without prints or leather attachments.
    • Khes/Uparna (upper wrap cloth)
    - Use: for modesty and warmth. - If not available: use a plain white dupatta or light shawl.
    • Dharma book (Pach/5 Pratikraman text)
    - Use: for Paushadh and daily pratikraman recital. - If not available: borrow from the temple/Upashray; or use a printed photocopy. Only if your tradition allows, a PDF on phone—but many avoid electronics during Paushadh, so confirm first.
    • Towel
    - Use: personal cleanliness. - If not available: keep a separate small clean cloth reserved for the same purpose.
    • Kamli/Shawl (warm wrap)
    - Use: warmth during long sittings. - If not available: a simple sweater or light blanket (plain, clean).
    • Pyjama (pure white pants)
    - Use: modest, simple lower garment. - If not available: the dhoti listed above is sufficient—choose either dhoti or white pants.

    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.
