In Jainism, Dussehra as a festival is not observed. Dussehra is a Hindu festival that commemorates Rama’s victory over Ravana. Jains have their own major days, centered on Mahavira and the Jain dharma, not on Dussehra.

The key Jain celebrations are:

• Mahavir Janma Kalyanak (birth of Mahavira), celebrated in spring.
• Diwali (the festival of lights), which marks the Nirvana (liberation) of Mahavira and also signals the end of the Jain year. Both Digambar and Shwetambar traditions commemorate Mahavira’s nirvana on Diwali and observe related spiritual practices. You can read more about how Diwali is observed in Jainism here .
