Answer

In Jainism, Hanuman is not worshipped as a supreme God or creator.

However, in some Jain traditions and Jain retellings of the Ramayana, Hanuman is accepted as an important heroic and spiritually significant figure, connected with the Jain version of the Ramayana.

Explanation

Jain Dharma does not believe in a creator God who controls the universe. The highest beings in Jainism are:

• Arihants — enlightened beings who have conquered inner enemies
• Siddhas — liberated souls free from karma

In Jain Ramayana traditions, figures like Rama, Lakshmana, Ravana, and Hanuman are described differently from the Hindu Ramayana. Hanuman is respected as a powerful and devoted being, but he is not considered a Tirthankar, Arihant, or Siddha.

Spiritual Understanding

From a Jain perspective, reverence is ultimately directed toward those who have conquered attachment, anger, ego, deceit, greed, and karma. So Hanuman may be respected in Jain narratives, but Jain worship is centered on the qualities of liberated and enlightened souls.

Takeaway

Hanuman is respected in some Jain Ramayana traditions, but he is not a supreme deity in Jainism and is not part of the central Jain objects of worship like Arihants and Siddhas.
