FAL PUJÄ (FRUIT)
Fal is a symbol of Moksha or Liberation. If we live our life without any attachment to worldly affairs, continue to perform our duty without any expectation of rewards, be witness to all the incidents that occur around and within us. truly follow an ascetic life, and have love and compassion towards all living beings, we will attain the fruit of Moksha or Liberation.
This last Pujä symbolizes the ultimate achievement of our life. By reciting the virtues of Tirthankars we remind ourselves that these same virtues are also possessed by us, and that by taking the path of the Tirthankars we can also achieve Nirvana. Some sect of Digambars use dry fruits, such as dry dates, shelled almonds, cloves, and cardamom, in this pujä.
