Answer

In Jain Dharma, there is no universally established Jain ritual specifically involving cloves and a red potli on Dussehra.

Dussehra is more commonly associated with Hindu traditions. Jain Dharma has its own sacred festivals and observances, such as Paryushan, Das Lakshan, Mahavir Jayanti, Ayambil Oli, Kartik Purnima, and others.

Explanation

A ritual using:

• Cloves
• Red cloth or red potli
• Special remedies on Dussehra

is generally connected with folk customs, astrological practices, or non-Jain ritual traditions. It is not a core Jain practice found in standard Jain religious observance.

In Jain Dharma, spiritual progress is based on:

• Samyak Darshan — right faith
• Samyak Gyan — right knowledge
• Samyak Charitra — right conduct
• Ahimsa — non-violence
• Tapasya — austerity
• Swadhyay — study of Dharma
• Pratikraman — repentance and purification

Spiritual Understanding

If someone observes Dussehra culturally, a Jain approach would be to use the day for inner victory over:

• anger
• ego
• deceit
• greed
• attachment
• violence in thought, speech, and action

This aligns more closely with Jain values than performing remedy-based rituals.

Takeaway

The cloves and red potli ritual is not a standard Jain Dharma ritual. From a Jain perspective, Dussehra can be meaningfully observed through prayer, self-discipline, forgiveness, non-violence, and inner purification.
