up at sunrise with pleasantries, washing, offering of fresh clothes, food and interaction with the devotees. Some temples may include elaborate procession, as community events such as traditional singing and dancing events to mark the celebration. A special type of consecration is used for festival icons (Sanskrit: ) for the purpose of parading the deity for the community to receive the vision (Sanskrit: ) of the deity. In Jainism Another term used for consecration in the Jain tradition is , the "eye-opening" rite by which a qualified practitioner "enlivens" a murti for worship. Digambara Jains consecrate the statue of a Jina by the ritual of Abhisheka, where the statue is awakened by pouring of auspicious liquids such as water, clarified butter, coconut milk, yellow sandalwood water, cow milk and other liquids successively. The temple is considered active only when the main Jina image has been consecrated. The ritual of consecrating an image to bring "life to temple" is attested in medieval Jain documents.
