A Jain cleaning the temple at Ranakpur. When we speak or open our mouths, sometimes spittle sprays out. The mask over his face is to prevent spit droplets from landing on holy images or books.
The reason why certain Jains wear a mask over there mouths is that they do not wish to harm the microbes and tiny living organisms in the air by inhaling them or swallowing them.
