In Jain Dharma, Diwali is mainly a sacred day of Bhagwan Mahavir’s nirvana, so the most authentic observance is prayer, meditation, dhoop-deep, recitation, charity, and self-purification.

If your family still does Lakshmi pooja, keep it simple, sattvic, and Jain-friendly:

1. Clean the house and pooja place

Keep the space pure and peaceful.

1. Place a clean cloth or asan

Sit with calm mind and devotion.

1. Light a diya

Offer light as a symbol of knowledge, purity, and inner awakening.

1. Remember the true Jain values

Pray for: - right knowledge - right faith - right conduct - non-violence - detachment from greed

1. Recite Jain prayers or stotras

For example, Namokar Mantra with devotion.

1. Avoid excess and violence

Do not make the celebration greedy, showy, or harmful. Avoid firecrackers as much as possible, because Jain Dharma values ahimsa.

1. Do charity

Giving food, help, and support to needy beings is a very auspicious Jain act.

Jain understanding of Lakshmi

In Jainism, real Lakshmi is not only material wealth. True Lakshmi is:

• dharmic conduct
• contentment
• compassion
• inner purity
• spiritual progress

So during Diwali, the best “Lakshmi pooja” in Jain spirit is to invite virtue, peace, and right conduct into your life.
