Answer

In Jainism, the pure liberated soul is beyond gender. Once a soul becomes a Siddha, it has no body, no sex, no name, and no worldly identity. So there is not a “female liberated soul” or “male liberated soul” in the final sense—there is only a liberated soul.

Explanation

A woman, like anyone else, is a soul living in a body. In worldly life, the body may be female, but the soul itself is neither male nor female.

When liberation happens:

• the body falls away,
• karma is destroyed,
• gender no longer exists,
• only the soul’s pure nature remains.

That is why worship in Jainism is directed toward the soul’s purity, knowledge, bliss, and freedom, not toward gender.

There is also an important doctrinal difference in Jain traditions:

• Śvetāmbara Jainism accepts that women can attain liberation in a female body.
• Digambara Jainism holds that liberation in a female body is not possible in the final stage and that one must be in a male body to attain moksha.

But in both traditions, the final liberated state is not female in the worldly sense, because liberation goes beyond all bodily identities.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain Dharma teaches that the highest reverence is for the soul when it becomes completely pure. This is why Siddhas are worshipped—not as male or female beings, but as perfect liberated souls.

This teaching reminds us:

• the soul is what matters, not the body,
• spiritual progress is open to all souls,
• liberation is the end of all distinctions.

Takeaway

There is no “woman’s liberated state” to worship in Jainism because liberation transcends gender entirely. What is worshipped is the pure, genderless Siddha state of the soul.
