In Jainism, we do not worship Hindu gods as creators or saviors. The spiritual focus is on the Tirthankaras—enlightened teachers who show the path to liberation. Here’s the gist:

• Jain worship centers on the teachings (Dharma) and the example of the Tirthankaras, not on living gods who control the universe.
• Devas (gods) are acknowledged as powerful beings with long lives, but they are still bound by karma and do not provide salvation. They are not worshipped for liberation in Jain practice.
• Some Jain rituals may reference or honor deities as part of cultural tradition or for auspiciousness, but this is different from devotional worship aimed at attaining moksha, which depends on right knowledge, right faith, and right conduct.
• There are differences between Digambar and Shvetambar traditions in how they view venerable beings, but both place ultimate emphasis on the Tirthankaras and do not treat Hindu gods as the ultimate path to liberation.

If you’d like, I can share a simple summary in the language of Jain scriptures or explain how a typical Jain puja differs from Hindu ritual worship.
