    Which puja us done in Paryushan

    12 months ago 34

    In Paryushan, the core pujas and observances are:

    • Chaityavandan (worship of Tirthankaras) — done daily in many Shvetambar groups:
    - If you are a Mūrtipūjak Shvetāmbara, you perform Devāsī Chaityavandan in the daytime and Raī (night) Chaityavandan after sunset for the first seven days; on the Samvatsarī day you do the full Samvatsarī Pratikraman instead of a separate Chaityavandan that evening. Digambar traditions follow a different pattern (Das Lakṣaṇa Parva) that includes Deva-vandana/Chaitya-vandana as part of their daily routine. For more details, see the guidance here .
    • Kalpa Sutra recitation (Shvetāmbara, especially Mūrtipūjak) — reading and pravachan on the life of Tirthankaras, particularly Mahāvīr, is a prominent part of Paryushan in many Śvetāmbara communities. This is often associated with the Kalpa Sūtra readings during the festival. See further in the Paryushan practices guide here .
    • Navkār Mantra and stotras — recitation or chanting of Navkār Mantra is customary, often along with other devotional stotras like Logassa and Namutthunam, especially in the Mūrtipūjak lineage. The practice is described in the Paryushan guidance for Śvetāmbara traditions here .
    • Samayik (meditation on equanimity) and Pratikraman (confession/repentance) — these are essential daily observances throughout Paryushan for all followers, with the Samvatsarī Pratikraman on the last day being particularly significant. Digambara and Śvetāmbara communities follow the local normative sequence, but Samayik and Pratikraman are central to both. See the general festival guidance here .
    • Samvatsari (the last day) — the major forgiveness day when Michhāmi Dukkhaḍaṃ (forgiveness) is given and taken after Pratikraman; this day is the culmination of the Paryushan observances. Details appear in the festival overviews here .

    If you’d like, I can tailor this to your tradition (Śvetāmbara Mūrtipūjak, Śvetāmbara Sthānakavāsi/Terāpanth, or Digambara) and give a day-by-day outline.
