In Jainism, Lord Shiva is not recognized as a deity of worship or as a spiritual teacher. Jainism is distinct from Hinduism and does not accept the concept of Shiva as the Supreme God. Instead, Jainism focuses on the veneration of the Tirthankaras—spiritually perfected teachers such as Lord Mahavira and Lord Rishabhanatha.

However, it is noteworthy that in ancient Jain texts, some figures named "Shiva" appear, but these are different from the Hindu god Shiva. For example, Jain texts refer to "Shiva" as a common name or sometimes as a yaksha (attendant spirit) associated with certain Tirthankaras, but not as a supreme deity or creator.

Jainism teaches that liberation (moksha) is attained through right knowledge, right faith, and right conduct, not by devotion to gods. The Jain path emphasizes non-violence (ahimsa), non-possessiveness (aparigraha), and self-realization, without reliance on creator gods or destroyer gods like Shiva in Hinduism.

Therefore, Lord Shiva as known in Hinduism does not have a role in Jain worship, philosophy, or spiritual practice.
