Significance of Cleaning

Cleaning in Jainism represents both the purification of one's character and the metaphorical awakening from worldly attachments, emphasizing personal and spiritual refinement. In the context of Dharmashastra, cleaning involves practical aspects such as the preparation of food for Shraddha and the rituals accompanying sacrifices during Vedic studies. Overall, cleaning is significant in both traditions, serving both spiritual and practical purposes in the pursuit of purity and understanding.1
