: WikiPedia: Jainism

ṭṭ첹 (भट्टार�) refers to a “representative leader who can initiate the پṣṭ celebrations related to the five events known as 貹ñ-첹ṇa첹�.—These events occur in the life of Tīrthaṅkara commemorated as part of many Jain rituals and festivals. The events celebrated in relation to icons of Tīrthaṅkaras are called پṣṭ. After the پṣṭ the statue represents the Tīrthaṅkara, and becomes a worshippable object. A پṣṭ must be authorised by an acknowledged leader of the Saṅgha, an Ācārya or a ṭṭ첹, or a representative (پṣṭcārya), who can recite the sacred ūԳٰ to mark the final step in the installation ceremony. The Śvetāmbara sect requires a ceremony called ñᲹԲś. Once an idol is fully installed, it must be worshipped daily.
