They go to worship in a temple known as "Derasar" or a "Mandir". Most go to stone temples while some have wooden ones madde in homes. Usually they chant mantras or meditate when they are there.

Jains worship those places where their Tirthankars attained Nirvana (Sammed Sikhar, Girnar, Kailash Parvat, Pavapur and Champapur) and the places which they believe to be eternal (Sammed Sikhar and Ayodhya). Besides, they also worship in Siddha Kshetras.

For their daily rituals they go to a local temple (in hindi: Mandir, in Gujarati: Derasar) which are more popular among Jains as it is not possible to go to above mentioned places every day to worship God.

Why are Jains not a Hindu caste?

Jainism and Hinduism are two ancient Indian religions. The word "Jain" is derived from the word Jina, referring to a human being who has conquered all inner passions (like anger, attachment, greed and pride) and possesses Kevala Jnana (pure infinite knowledge). Followers of the path of the Jinas are called Jains. Followers of Hinduism are called Hindus.
