Is paryushan date different for shwetambar and digambar jains
Yes. Paryushan dates differ for Shwetambar and Digambar Jains because each sect follows its own calendar and duration.
- Shwetambar Jains: observe Paryushan for 8 days, usually in Shravan (on the bright half, Shukla Paksha) and end with Samvatsari (the forgiveness day). Dates shift a bit each year and locality, but it typically falls in August–September.
- Digambar Jains: observe Paryushan as the 10-day Das Lakshan Parva, starting a few days after the Shwetambar start, in the same Bhadrapada period, and ending on Anant Chaturdashi. Kshamavani (forgiveness) is often observed a day or two later in many communities.
Local sanghs or temples may have small variations, so it’s best to check with your community. You can read more here
