Murtipujaka, also known as Deravasi, is the term for a sect of Jainism that includes most Svetambaras.
Murtipujaka Svetambaras differ from Sthanakvasi Svetambaras in that their derasars contain idols of the Tirthankaras instead of empty rooms.
Murtipujaka monastics and worshippers do not use the muhapatti, a piece of cloth over the mouth, during prayers, whereas it is permanently worn by Sthanakvasis and Svetambar Terapanthis. The Sthankvasis and Terapanthis do so to protect the living beings in the air around them from any injury or death due to their speech.
