Paryushan Parv is one of the most revered festivals celebrated by the Jain community. It is not only a time for spiritual cleansing but also self-reflection and forgiveness. Usually observed in the month of August or September each year, the occasion is marked by prayers, fasting and other traditions.

While the Shwetambar Jain community observes an eight-day-long Paryushan Parv, the festival lasts for 10 days for the Digambar Jain community, where it is called ‘Das Lakshan Parv’.
