Gahuli plays an important role in Jain religion. It is a special design made by rice in on the bench or wooden table in front of god. Many Jain people make this rangoli during special days like “Paryushan”, “Samaiya”, “Chaturmas Pravesh”, “Diksha”, “Tirthankar’s Kalyanak” etc. They make this rangoli to show their feeling (bhavna) towards god. It is the design made by jain shrawak (shrawak means men and women who follows Jainism)

Importance of Gahuli in Jainism

Swastik and gahuli are the sign of good omen or auspiciousness. Jain rituals are separated broadly in two parts: Karya (Obligations which are followed) and Kriya (Worships which are performed). Worship to the god was started during medieval period. People worship of some Yaksha and Yakshini, heavenly beings who are not liberated souls by doing puja, prey and swastik/gahuli. These Yaksh, Yakshini and god help a person by removing obstacles in life (jain people believe that)
