Mūrtipūjaka (lit. "image-worshipper"), also known as Derāvāsī ("temple-dweller")[1] or Mandir Mārgī ("follower of the temple path"),[1] is the largest sect of Śvetāmbara Jainism. Mūrtipūjaka Jains differ from both Śvetāmbara Sthānakavāsī and Śvetāmbara Terāpanthī Jains in that they worship images of the Tīrthaṅkaras. Mūrtipūjaka may also generally describe members of both the Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions who use idols (mūrti) in their worship (pūjā).[2]
