Yes. In Jain Dharma, Pratikraman is a sincere rite of self-purification through reflection, confession, and forgiveness.

• What it is (arth): A personal act of repenting for faults committed knowingly or unknowingly, apologizing to all living beings, and resolving to avoid those faults in the future. It is about nonviolence, truth, and right conduct, and it helps purify the mind and set the path right.

• How it is done (common outline):

- Sit in a quiet space and reflect on one’s thoughts, speech, and actions. - Verbally confess the faults (for example, traits like anger, lying, stealing, or harming others) and offer remorse. - Seek forgiveness from all beings, great and small, including those you may have harmed or offended. - Make a sincere resolution to refrain from repeating the faults and to practice better conduct. - It is often connected with related practices like Navkar mantra recitation and periods of meditation or Samayik, especially during auspicious times like Paryushan.

• Digambar vs. Shwetambar notes: Both traditions perform Pratikraman, but there are variations in mantras, sequence, and emphasis of certain verses or prayers. The core purpose—confession, forgiveness, and renewal of vows—remains the same.

• When people typically perform it: publicly during special Jain observances (e.g., Paryushan) and privately as needed for personal purification.
