Practices and rituals signify the activities that the followers of a religion are required to engage in. They provide an avenue for strengthening their religious beliefs. Similarities and differences can arise when considering the rituals and practices in religious practice, thereby offering a unique perspective in determining the significance of religion to its followers. The religious activities also act as a record of what characterizes a specific religion. Most of the rituals have been conducted through the ages and passed over generations. They have become part of individuals’ identity and a means of social integration (Clarke, 2013). Practices and rituals are the physical manifestations of the activities of religion. Such actions are given a spiritual meaning by the followers. In Hinduism and Jainism, followers engage in different rituals during religious festivals, holidays, and events. Though differing in nature, the activities give followers a means of communication with a spiritual being, or they strengthen their beliefs, as the case is with Jainism (Warrier, 2004). Ritual practices by Hindus are seen as a way of ensuring the spiritual enhancement and the general well-being of the individuals. Devotees can eliminate prarabdhas (past karma) and asanas (bad tendencies), thereby guaranteeing their well-being in both the short-term and the long-term. In the long-term, spiritual enhancement changes the follower’s attitudes and personality by merging their life with faith and spirituality. In the short-term, it helps with good health and warding off evil and misfortunes. In the end, the devotee is believed to become contented and happy (Cort, 2001). The practice of public worship or Puja is essential in Hindu rituals and practices. Individual destinies are impacted by malefic influences of the planets. This results in suffering and pain. Only activities like the Puja, which are guided by astrological calculations, provide a way of easing the suffering of the believers. Ritual fire or hom e ceremonies are also a common Hindu practice for achieving various needs, like becoming knowledgeable and gaining wealth and good health (Warrier, 2004). Hinduism is composed of a multitude of deities, comprising of the major divinities like Siva, Ganesh, and Krishna. There are also semi-divine divinities like nagas (serpents) and yakshas (tree spirits), as well as the rural village gods and the goddesses. They are not subject to specific ritual traditions, but a Hindu’s choice on any deity is determined by the family or through personal choice. Altars are common in a typical Hindu home, where they reflect familial and regional preferences. Community and individual circumstances are easily adaptable. There is no single authoritative body or texts that dictate ritual and practices that are expected. Numerous ritual manuals exist, but the context of the practices is obligatory (Clarke, 2013). Jains have regular rituals or kriyas for followers, which guide them on a journey towards the ‘inner’ self from the ‘outer’ self. Regarded as the ‘right conduct,’ rituals occur with the complete understanding of the meaning of various activities and devotions. For Jains, ‘empty’ ritualistic practices are not beneficial. In other words, ritual practices are not merely observe
