There are 24 gods of jainism.... the last one of the tirthankars(jain gods of a time period normally thousands of years) is Mahavir Swami. Jains do a lot more rituals for Mahavir Swami because he was the last one and scriptures have most about him. There is only one female god, Mallinath.

Jainism was tought by the 24 tirthankaras (they are like gurus). The last one is considered the main founder, Mahavira. He strongly opposed the idea of a diety. However, now that he is dead, Jains worship him as their diety now. So if your talking about Jainism by the actual creators of it there is none. If your talking about present day jainism, then the answer is Mahavira.

The Jain conception of God is quite different from what others fell about the same. In one way there are 24 Jain Tirthankars (God) but there are many other Jain Gods also, whom Jains worship as Arihants and Siddhas. However the Tirthankars are considered most important under Jain philosophy.
