Scholar Steven M. Vose explains the significance and function of choḍ pațas—intricately embroidered wall hangings found in Jain temples. Typically displayed behind images of Jinas or Tīrthankaras, these textiles serve as commemorative objects, often marking the completion of a religious fast or the arrival of a revered monk for the monsoon retreat. Vose highlights how choḍ pațas reflect the devotional lives and community values of Jain practitioners.
