Kuldevi (family deity) ki ek hi universal pooja Saitwal Jain samaj ke liye nahi hai. Saitwal Jains ki kuldevi ya kuldevta aksar parivaar ki purani patrika, griha-pratishtha ya derasar ki rasm-rivazon par dependent hoti hai. Aksar log Shasan Deviyon ko hi apni kuldevi ke roop me maana jata hai, jaise ki Ambika, Padmavati ya Chakreshwari—ye sab Jain dharm me Yakshini/Devi ke roop me maana jata hai aur Tirthankara ke sath sambandhit hoti hain. Digambar aur Shwetambar dono paramparao me in Deviyon ki upasna aam taur par hoti hai, lekin kuldevi ki chuni gayi devi parivar ke purvajon ki reeti-rivaaz par nirbhar karti hai.

• aam roop se upalabdh Shasan Deviya (Jain dharm ke anusar): Ambika (Neminath ki yakshini), Padmavati (Parshvanath ki nazdeekrupi), Chakreshwari (Adinath ki yakshini) jaise deviyon ki pooja kuldevi ke roop me ki jati hai. Inki maana Digambar aur Shwetambar dono me milti-julti hai, lekin parivaarik parampara alag ho sakti hai.
• Saitwal samudaay ki vishesh kuldevi har parivaar ki patrika, derasar ki lipi, ya purkho ki kahani par depend karti hai. Isliye ek nishchit, sab par lagu kuldevi batana mushkil hai.

Agar aap apne parivar ki kuldevi jaanna chahte hain, to:

• apne parivaar ki patrika/patrika-patra (kul-patrika) ya griha-derasar ke mandir ke purohit se puchhain.
• purkhon ki kahaniyon aur mandir ki likhita inkishaf dekhein ki aapke parivar me kaunsi devi kuldevi ke roop me maani jati hain.
