Short answer:

• Jains do not worship Ravana as a god. Dussehra (Vijayadashami) is a Hindu festival celebrating Rama’s victory over Ravana, and it is not a Jain religious festival.
• In Jain texts, Ravana is a powerful but fallible mortal who often appears in Ramayana retellings to teach moral lessons about karma, pride, and nonviolence. He is usually not a model for spiritual attainment.
• Some Jain traditions recount Ravana as a learned Vidyadhara or as part of the Rama-Baladeva narrative in a way that highlights karma and the path to liberation; but he is not revered as a Tirthankar or divine figure. There are small differences in how Digambar and Śvetāmbara sources present him, but the core message is consistent: Ravana’s life shows the consequences of uncontrolled desire and violence.

Key points you can trust from Jain sources:

• Ravana is treated as a mighty but flawed figure in Jain literature, not a divine being, and he is generally defeated by the Jain heroic cycle. He figures in the Ramayana narratives to illustrate karmic lessons rather than to be worshipped.
• In Jain Ramayana retellings, Ravana is sometimes described as a devotee or as a soul that can progress, but still remains a mortal whose actions lead to karmic consequences. The portrayal varies somewhat between Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions, but the overarching view remains that Ravana is not a Tirthankar or divine figure.
