    Das lakshan started on Aug 28,2025. When it’s ending when to wish others about uttam kshama or how?

    Short answer:

    • Uttam Kshama is the highest form of forgiveness (one of the ten Das Lakshan, the ten virtuous qualities).
    • It is customary to offer and receive Uttam Kshama on Kshamavani, the forgiveness day that ends the Das Lakshan/Paryushan period. So, you would wish others “uttam kshama” on Kshamavani, not while Das Lakshan is just beginning.

    A few simple points to keep in mind:

    • What is Das Lakshan? They are ten virtuous qualities taught in Jainism, including Uttam Kshama (the supreme forgiveness). They are studied and practiced during the Das Lakshan period that accompanies Paryushan/Dash Lakshan observances.
    • Uttam Kshama ( supreme forgiveness) means forgiving all beings completely, without holding any grievance, even toward those who wronged you.
    • Timing: Kshamavani is the day to reflect on forgiveness and to ask for forgiveness from others. It is traditionally observed at the end of the Das Lakshan/Paryushan period. On that day people often greet each other with forgiveness and goodwill.
    • Traditions: Both Digambar and Shwetambar communities honor Uttam Kshama as the central virtue, though the exact rituals and wording around Kshamavani can differ slightly between these two traditions.

    If you’d like, I can explain the meaning of all ten Das Lakshan (including Uttam Kshama) in simple terms, and note any small differences between Digambar and Shwetambar interpretations.
