In a Jain temple, prayer is done with bhakti, humility, and reverence toward the Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas, and all Sadhus.

A common Jain prayer is the Navkar Mantra:

णमो अरिहंताणं णमो सिद्धाणं णमो आयरियाणं णमो उवज्झायाणं णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं

Meaning: I bow to the Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas, and all Sadhus in the universe.

In the temple, prayer is usually done with:

• quiet devotion
• right faith
• peaceful mind
• non-violence in thought, word, and deed

A Jain temple prayer is not for asking worldly favors, but for spiritual purification, self-discipline, and progress on the path of liberation.
