Panchkalyanak Pratishtha (installation with five auspicious events) is a traditional Jain ceremony that consecrates one or more Jain Tirthankara images.
- After the pratishtha the statue represents the Tirthankara, and becomes a worshippable object.
- A pratishtha must be authorised by an acknowledged leader of the sangha, an Acharya or a Bhattaraka, or a representative (pratishthacharya), who can recite the sacred suri-mantra to mark the final step in the installation ceremony.
- The Shvetambara sect requires a ceremony called anjana-shalaka.
- Once an idol is fully installed, it must be worshipped daily.
